Some of us prefer to avoid the beautiful chaos that is Carnival altogether and simply enjoy the long weekend. See the following guidelines:
- If you are headed to the beaches/ rivers etc, please exercise diligence and caution. Pay attention to rough waters or signage which indicate certain areas are not safe for swimming. Just like driving, swimming and drinking alcohol do not mix well. Keep that in mind.
- If you are travelling to another country, research and prepare for the weather, health and security considerations.
- Exercise care on the roads. Though you may not be partaking in excessive partying and/or drinking but keep in mind you are sharing the roadways with persons who are.
