Blogs from Turks & Caicos, Central America Caribbean

Expectations were high, but Turks and Caicos was as advertised - the water, sand and temperatures were all perfect. All that and its proximity to the U.S. means it’s not exactly a budget island, but luckily it wasn’t that kind of trip. At the same time, it’s the main thing anyone who doesn’t have unlimited money should keep in mind when planning a visit. Products that locals use (milk, apples, bananas, etc.) are only about double what they cost in the U.S., but tourist needs are exorbitant. Examples: $13 for a cylinder of Quaker Oats, $21 for a 6-pack of Kind bars, $3 for an orange, all not including the 12% tax. The theme here is to bring whatever you’re allowed by customs, like cereal, coffee, and snacks. As for restaurants, the going price for a ... read more

Grand Turk Blog 31st January 2020 The islands come thick and fast Grand Turk Island is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos archipelago, in the Atlantic Ocean.

It may sound like I';m celebrating a couple of things today, but no. This is Turks & Caicos' Wine Cellar Golf &Fishing Tournament. The 7th one, to be exact. The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. The Wine Cellar/Discount Liquors put on events to 'give back' to the community. Today event includes both a golf and a fishing tournament. To celebrate - I drank a bottle of wine and played golf with by umbrella and a soft rugby ball. I probably didn't win the seventh Wine Cellar's Golf and Fishing Tournament... but it was fun :) Today's Woman: Fanny Mendelssohn wrote a piece of music 118 years ago and it's finally been played under her name. Scholars and musicians described the sonata as 'masculine', 'violent' and 'ambitious'. "Easter Sonata" was ... read more

Turks and Caios right off of Florida in short nautical miles down south. It's very beautiful. I will try to describe what I did but I'm a picture person when i look at Travel Guides. So if you want to see what I have, have fun! I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and I enjoyed it so much! This trip happened in 2009. I was very close to do Jet skii but oh well. At least I saw a lot of historic forts which were interesting. img=https://cdn2.gbot.me/photos/G7/NM/1343653281/-visit_to_Grand_Turk_in_th-20000000004417421-500x375.jpgimg=http://previews.123rf.com/images/ginosphotos/ginosphotos1009/ginosphotos100901618/7903526-Cruise-ships-anchored-in-grand-Turk-Caicos-Islands-British-West-Indies-Stock-Photo.jpg... read more
