Turks & Caicos Family Vacation - Day 6 & 7


Day 6

Alan went diving again today.  And apparently it was the BEST dive he has had to date.  There was a lot going on underwater today.  Such as spotting more than a dozen sharks.  Wife = not happy.

The ladies went on a 4-hour kayak tour this AM.  Earliest I have gotten up on vacay – 6:45am…yawn.  It was a really cool adventure.  We started by kayaking through the mangroves and were able see a stingray swimming beneath us, starfish, and even an area full of jellyfish.  Then we paddled over to ‘iguana island’ where over 2,000 iguanas live.  It was fun to walk around and learn about them.  It was quite the workout because at time we were paddling against the current, into the wind.  But the morning was perfectly sunny. 

We grilled up the remainder of the mahi mahi tonight.  And made a huge spread of fish tacos.  Again, stellar meal with fish that we caught on the deep sea adventure.

Day 7

We decided to lay low on our last day on the island.  I sat under a palm tree for like 3 hours reading a book.  Ah-mazing.  Alan & I floated on rafts and snorkeled for sea shells off shore for the rest of the afternoon. 

Once we were sunned-out for the day, we headed to Sharkbite, because I read they had really good Grouper Reubens and half off cocktails on Fridays.  YES!  After dinner, we headed to these 2 swanky hotel bars right on the beach.  They were recommended to us by one of Alan’s college friends who just returned from Turks – Seven Stars & Grace Bay Club.  We listened to some great live bands who played ‘island’ music and even roasted marshmallows over a campfire.








A great way to wrap up the trip.  What a nice getaway :-)
