The Mansions on Grace Bay Providenciales

... finally I got out of here!! The flights with Air Canada were good - it's been a long time since I travelled that far (about 10 hours in total with a transit in Toronto), but they've got seatback TV's and they spoiled us because we're such a good bunch of travel agents ;)<br><br>Flying over the Caribbean was like a dream - the water was sparkling blue, the beaches were so dazzling white, and the lush green of the trees. I loved it. And ...

Well we've just arrived in the Turks and Caicos Islands after a 3 night, 2 day very pleasant sail from Puerto Rico. What can I say about the islands, well they're flat, scrubby and dusty but it's not about the land in this part of the world it's about the water. And boy the water is absolutely, definitely, positively amazing. Look at the photos.... We are on the island of Providenciales and its here that our memories of Turks and Caicos have formed and its nothing to do with ...

It was really fun! It's a great experience and the one activity I would suggest people to do is the trapeze with the Club Med Circus crew they are awesome and it's a lifetime experience. I want to go back to Turks and Caicos for sure and stay at the Seven Stars Hotel it's drop dead gorgeous!!!

... to see that the resort had such a variety of entertainment open to us. We ended up dancing all night at the Nikki Beach Club! The amazing DJ Felipe from Columbia told us that this is the first Caribbean resort with European style entertainment. The rest of the staff was super nice too, especially GM Jonathan, the VIP manager Michael Sin from South Beach and the sales director ...

We just returned from the Turks and Caicos Islands. Had a marvelous time there. The hotel was average for the price, but it was the least expensive on the island. We paid just under $100 per night, and that also included a fairly large continental breakfast. The front desk staff at the hotel was fairly inadequate and rude, except for Tyrell, he is really a nice guy. The hotel is not on the ...

... the Iguana Island, I could have passed on that, I don't like reptiles too well, but the tour guide was cute and thorough. Then to Ft. George again. More sand dollars. The water colors are different in the morning than from the afternoon before, with the changing sun, so it was nice to see the variety. Overall, I enjoyed CDT's better, but the J&amp;B one was fine, too. It's hard to do a side by side comparison, cause you'll have different crew within the same company and ...

... and chips. Group saw hammerhead shark, 3+ foot Barracuda, and various other stuff (see, I'm not a diver!), and we were followed by a dolphin on the way home. Sites dove: G-Spot, Rock'n'Roll and ?. Hubby said really cool, although not his top favorite ...

... It is mostly spent with Simon and Charlyn as we have done dinner out, dinner on our boat and dinner on theirs. Every Wednesday they organize a cruiser's barbeque (part BYO, part pot luck) and offer a lift to those anchored in the bay a few miles away. For us this was a great evening as about 25 people joined in, each with their own travel story. Most were waiting on the winds to die before heading to the Dominican Republic, as we are. For the first time there are people ...

... if this is a country or a territory of the U.K. I think it's part of the commonwealth (whatever that means). We had to have a guy from customs come to the boat yesterday to stamp us in while we flew our yellow quarantine flag. It's a funny place; the population is mostly black, I think it's on 110 Volts, it uses the U.S. Dollar, they drive on the left, and I think they speak a different language sometimes. We explored the ...

Another spring break trip with my parents, this time to beautiful Providenciales, Turks &amp; Caicos. Beautiful beaches and great scuba diving - it's where I got certified! We also fell in love with the many cats on the resort property - unfortunately, we couldn't bring them home!<br>
