I miss you TCI

The Turks and Caicos, Islands (TCI) has it all including beauty, friendly people, warm weather, and great food. Nate and I have travelled to TCI two times, most recently one year ago. I was thinking about TCI today and how this time last year we would have just been returning from our wonderful trip where we visited North Caicos, Middle Caicos, and Providenciales. We also went to TCI three years ago for our honeymoon.

The main tourist island is Providenciales "Provo." On our first visit we stayed on Provo for the entire trip. We spent time relaxing on Grace Bay beach in front of our resort, exploring beautiful beaches and cayes on the island, snorkeling and enjoying fine dining. While in Prove, we learned that other more remote islands existed with untouched beauty.

On our second trip we stayed on North Caicos and explored this island, as well as Middle Caicos, which was connected by a bridge. We explored both islands for several days and saw absolutely beautiful scenery, went fishing and snorkeling, hung out on beaches where we were the only people around for miles, and experienced great hospitality at our small resort. We then went back to Provo and once again and spent time enjoying incredible food and hanging out on Grace Bay Beach and Malcom Beach.

TCI is a safe country and you are not confined to the resort. You can rent a car and go just about anywhere that the roads, or should I say paths, lead, never knowing what kind of beauty is around the next turn. You can eat at local restaurants and hang out at local hot spots. The locals are friendly people who are proud of their country and always good offer advice on what to do and see. I've never felt so relaxed and at ease away from home as I did in TCI.

I miss you Turks and Caicos, hope to visit you soon:)

A few pictures of paradise.
