I am scheduled to leave September 17 for a 10-day birding tour of 
Trinidad and Tobago.  My daughter was to accompany me, but because of a 
medical problem, she will not be able to go.  Since the tour is fully 
paid, non-refundable, and not insured, I would like to find someone to 
use that slot.  I would hate to see it go unused.

The cost of the tour was $2785 (single occupancy), but I am willing to 
donate the trip to a responsible birder.  She/he would have to pay air 
fare to/from Port-of-Spain, and probably also for 2 short flights 
to/from Tobago (because the tickets bought by the tour operator for my 
daughter probably aren't transferable).  Information about the tour is 
available at:

and

Note that a passport is required (good for 6 months after trip), but no 
visa is required with a US passport.  Yellow Fever inoculation is 
required - not sure about others - check the links above and US State 
Department advisory.

If you might be interested, please contact me off-list, 
 .  There's not much time to prepare, so act quickly.
