Merry New Year

At least that is how they say it in Turks and Caicos.  James and I spent five days on the island of Providenciales the week after Christmas.  Words cannot even describe how much I loved that place and how much fun we had.   

I need to mention first that somehow my camera did not make it into my bag for the trip.  I was devastated!!  We bought a disposable camera when we got there though.  And I have to say that was actually pretty fun.  It took me back about 15 years.  It was fun to take a picture that you had no idea how it was going to turn out.  And I had even more fun picking up my pictures from Wal-Mart!

I will stop anyone, anywhere and ask them to take our picture.  James hates that :)
We went to this store for souvenirs, and the next thing I know the salesmen had convinced James to buy some cigars.  Funny!!

The food on this island is amazing (and expensive)!!  And another thing that I loved about this place was very little humidity.  I was able to wear my hair straight at the beach, and for a frizzy hair girl like me, that is a BIG deal!


Our ill-fated fishing trip!  The only thing that James really wanted to do was go fishing!  So we found someone to take us for $650.00.  I thought that was outrageous, but he really wanted to go.  So we headed out that morning with complete strangers to go fishing.  And then about 20 minutes after we started, the boat started sinking.  If you notice James' shorts are wet because he had to get out and help push the boat to shore.  It turned out to be a really funny trip with no fish to show for it!




As much as I miss the kids when James and I go on one of these trips, I am always thankful for the memories that just the two of us get to share!

  2. We went to Grand Turks - oh who knows...when the ship docked..I got off. I loved the thought of it being so warm in December. I was lol so loud when I read about your fishing trip. Hope you got your money back. So glad you get to get away. Happy new year, my friend!
