1) What is the cost of living in Trinidad?
2) What is the best internet provider (was looking for wireless)? Any recommedations. Also how much are laptops? are they fast?
4) was planning to bring down a tv and possible dvd player from UK will this work?
3) Can anyone recommend a customs broker? Prices?
5) How much is childcare per hour?
6) Can anyone recommend a good reliable plumber and Electrician?

1) Very high!
2) Best provider in my opinion is FLOW. Laptops - better bring one with you.
4) Current here is 110 and we follow the US system so run rate foe VHS / DVD may be different
3) Customs broker - not off hand
5) Depends on where you are who you take
6) Electrician - yes, plumber - no.

Are you a Trini? Or married to a Trini? Exchange for pound sterling is 1:10 so life should be nice for you depending on where you want to live.

So could I get the details of the electrician, I do not know any and would like to get my house in Trinidad rewired. What kind of cost will I be looking at if I did this?

I am basically renovating the whole of my 5 bedroom house. Any places for materials would be greatful, including where I can get furniture, kitchen appliciances etc.

What other information will I need to successfully moved to Trinidad.

Oh and for childcare per hour, it will be in the diego martin area for 0-8 year olds.
