GRAND TURK DELIVERS SUNSHINE


Grand Turk Island, /Turks and Caicos
Saturday, October 25, 2014
Sunny, 86 F
 
Grand Turk is one of my favorite islands. We can walk off the ship right onto the inviting white sandy beach and palm tree area that borders the Caribbean. Just beyond the beaches, in sight of the Caribbean, is Margaritaville with swim up bars, large pool areas, plenty of palms, the restaurant area outside or in. I even know our favorite lounge chair location, shaded under a palm and an umbrella, just two can sit between the foliage, and Tim can step right into the water and sit on a ledge. Our private paradise. I could sit in this location for hours and hours, reading and observing. A disk jockey organizes games and Jimmy Buffet music floats through the air.   
 
We did interrupt our scene for cheeseburgers in paradise. The hostess was guiding us up two flights of stairs—I was thinking, ‘I don’t see any fans up there.’ When I asked, the hostess just smiled and led us to a private area overlooking the sandy beaches and palms, the ship in the background, with an oh so pleasant breeze. She knew what she was doing.
 
After many hours we returned to the ship for dinner for two in our dining room with Ariam from Mexico, our waitress almost every night.
 
Right now I am writing at a table in the International Café in the Piazza listening to live music (Team Rootberry), a variety. Very pleasant. Tim is wandering around.
 
TK’s Take: We did take a break from our paradise to look for beach glass, and found plenty of luscious green. Tim pointed out that he found most of it, despite my perfect eyes. J
