The Meridian Club Pine Cay

... so I was busy every minute - I was getting a few hours sleep a night and working hard during the day. I even got to do a bit of volunteer work - I'm a manual labour junkie!! Give me a pick-axe and a shovel any day!! :)<br><br>This is the resort we stayed in http://www.beaches.com/main/tc/tc-home. cfm. It is amazing - everything is paid for up front, so when you get there you can leave your wallet in your room and never pull it out - all ...

... water, this time it's the characters we met that have left an impression on us. Anyone for Cricket Amongst a sea of American accents one voice stood out loud and clear on the VHF radio. Simon, the manager of a tiny little marina called Southside, and his wife Charlyn, assisted us when we arrived at the Turks and Caicos. His quintessential English accent was so proper amongst our Australian nasal twang and the American drawls you hear on the radio, you almost wanted to reply ...

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!!!

... The rooms were incredible! We had a home style refrigerator in our suite full of high-end deli food that we ordered before arrival along with our favorite liquor. It was so nice to get to our room and have a delicious lunch ready for us! Later that evening, we ate a mouth-watering meal at Café Nikki. I highly recommend any of their seafood selections. Our first night, we were so ...

... but just less than a five minute walk to the beach, and they are some of the most beautiful beaches and waters in the world. We have traveled all over the world, and Provo has GREAT beaches!!!!! Right near the hotel is the Port of Calls, no ships don't dock here, it is a shopping/dining/minor nightlife area. There are some great shops in there, such as Mama's and Lorraine's, they have ...

... sadly, lots of trash right next to luxury properties...I have to warn you guys that if all you ever do is stay on Grace Bay, you will think this is paradise, if you venture out, you will see it's like many other places in the world, the beauty is ruined by humans, and honestly, the interior isn't that pretty even without the trash. These are scrubby, dusty islands with lots of garbage and abandoned construction. IMO, even the high end houses aren't desirable, because the ...

... more lively, but the units are older and pool not as nice. 5/1- Up early for diving with Caicos Adventures. My husband dives, I do not, but I went along. We didn't hit any snorkel spots, but I had a great day on the boat...though a little long! There were ...

... to the shops). What a nice welcome! Part of the reason we came to the Turks and Caicos is that we had heard it was an island in its development stage and might have work opportunities as well as offering great diving. Providenciales is the touristy island with a lot of development - in fact many parts seem like a building site. The whole place is purpose built so there is no history or old world charm or character. Apparently that is on Grand Turk (the capital) and its ...

... there were probably a few occasions where I should have. [Peeing on a boat that's under way should be an Olympic event.] Last night was brutal... Captain is hell-bent on making the USVI - he seems pessimistic and scared. [He wanted to get to the USVI on a specific date to pick up his sister.] All the good luck charms I have is funny. [You have a lot of time to think when you're out at sea.] Tired on 3 hour shifts, hungry too.

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>
