Day 4 - Grand Turk
The 7am Grand Turk excursion didn't happen until 8am because we couldn't get moving early enough. Good thing it was an independent excursion!

Last day in paradise
... goodbye to Chris and Smitty and the tank man (again i apologize for never getting his name), we hop on our golf cart and head down the road to see the town. We stop and get some of the local stamps. I try to collect stamps in the countries I visit but often I forget unless they are right there in my face.
