We made it to the Caribbean! The Turks and Caicos are considered part of the Caribbean, not the Bahamas, and things are very different here. Provo (where we are) is the main island and is pretty sophisticated. There are many nice resorts along Grace Bay and it is nice because they are not high rises. They are 2-4 stories with lot's of vegetation and gardens. The island is very beautiful - white sand beaches-crystal clear seas-healthy reefs for snorkeling and diving. But, wouldn't you know it, for the first time ever the waters have been plagued with portuguese man-o-war jellyfish. Just in time for the Sperry's arrival! We did get some snorkeling in and they have since disappeared from the island.
We rented a car and did some exploring. They name the rental cars here, ours is "Frick".
One day we took off down one of the many white sandy roads toward the NW side of the island.
Nothing for miles and miles and then out of know where appeared a Zen like resort (Amanyara) nestled along the oceanfront--soaring ceilings, open air bar and restaurant, reflecting pools....amazing!

The least expensive room was $2,000 per night. We opted for rum drinks and a light lunch :)
Besides, we have great accommodations on Kinja.
