re: Turks and Caicos Islands...

Here's a quick review:
-Traveling from Nola airport to TCI was pretty simple, layover in ATL, flights were on time and we were in TCI by 130-2pm.
-Grace Bay is only 10-15 minutes from the airport which is awesome! Will be one of the reasons we will go back.
-Sands at Grace Bay was a nice resort. The people were great, Hemingway's was a nice beach restaurant, the beach was perfect, the pools were nice enough, and it was reasonably priced. Would def recommend.
-I headed to the brewery for an afternoon, which is fun is you are into that kind of thing. The beer is pretty good, but don't expect Parish type of juice.
-Bay Bistro was a nice deck restaurant to eat at right on the beach. We ate there twice and was a quick walk from the Sands.
-Coco Bistro was really nice and the food was awesome, but it was expensive.
-Dive Provo was awesome! Highly recommend diving with them.
-Graceway Gourmet was very convenient and a quick bike ride from the hotel. They don't sell any alcohol on Sunday.
-We rented a Vespa for a few days, and rode around Providentiales. I highly recommend this as we drove it to the fish fry and a couple of other places we would have taken a cab to. Go visit Shore Beach Club, it is like something you would see in the movies. And we got to see Prince's old estate up close. Again the vespa was great, and I highly recommend renting one. We used Paradise Scooters and they were great.
-Fish Fry on thursday night at Bight Park was cool, although it rained most of the time. There is great seafood, arts and crafts, and there was a Turks Head Brewery truck out there.
-Grace Bay Club served us $20 mimosas for breakfast one morning. We knew everything was expensive there, but that seemed excessive. And the breakfast was skimpy and not that good. We won't be visiting there again. One of the only negatives of the trip.
-The beach on Grace Bay was beautiful and we spent several days just lounging. Bring your own drinks/beer/food to the beach in an ice chest because again everything is expensive.

That's all I can think of right now. It was a great trip and we will be going back for sure. Will probably stay at the Sands again.
