Your cruise ship docks at the pier on beautiful Grand Turk island in the Turks and Caicos. You shuffle off with the hundreds of other passengers and are instantly assaulted by tourist shops and chain bars (sorry Margaritaville). There's nothing inherently wrong with enjoying yourself in this atmosphere, but it's hard to get a feeling for the island this way. Let your salty soul take you down the … [Read more...]
What would you give to be the happy folks in this photo? One hundred dollars? One thousand dollars? An arm, maybe a leg? When I see a photo like today's Photo Friday picture I slump back in my chair and groan. Sure I live 5 minutes from the beach, but our water doesn't look anything like that.

Today I thought I'd share with you the Grand Turk Cruise Center webcam. Basically … [Read more...]
Turks and Caicos is a place to retreat too. A place to turn off the cell phone, wake up late every morning and fill your schedule with nothing at all. Raise your hand if your interest is peeked. Okay, lower your hands, I can't see you any ways. It does sound like a slice of "Yes Please" doesn't it. This week's island webcam comes from the fabulous Turks and Caicos and the island of … [Read more...]
I hear people rave about the Turks and Caicos all the time. I have not yet had the chance to put my toes in the sand on these island yet. This webcam at the Provo Golf Club & Country Club is the closest some of us have been.

Why I Write Close your eyes and remove yourself from the everyday. Picture your toes sinking into the sand as the waves kiss your ankles. It's a serene feeling that everyone should experience. I live a little bit of that life, living on the coast of southwest Florida and escaping to Caribbean to find adventure and inspiration whenever possible. If you have a love of the Caribbean and the island lifestyle then you have come to the right place. It's my passion to share the beauty of the island with … Read More
