“I remember sipping merrily on some ice cold juice during Breakfast on our first morning in Tobago. I had just enjoyed a warm shower. The clothes that had lurched at the foot of my bed would be clean in 30 minutes. All that was required was for me to turn on the machine! As I now reflect, only then did I truly begin to see the luxuries of western living.”
