This weekend, while he's heading down to the Caribbean islands of <b>Trinidad & Tobago</b> with a 1,000-strong US delegation for the Fifth Summit of the Americas, the Prez will be shacking up at the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+Trinidad+%26+Conference/ian/113097">Hilton Trinidad</a></b>, all of whose <b>380 rooms have been reserved</b> for him and his massive posse. <p>Hopefully, during the three-day summit which convenes the 34 "democratically elected leaders of the Western Hemisphere," Barack will have some precious alone time for paddling in their <b>pool shaped like the island of Trinidad</b> and hitting their squash and tennis courts.
