It was a normal day at work, a normal day in the office, the normal people in attendance, the same people normally late...everything was normal...EXCEPT! me... I was once again gathering up the pieces to my shattered heart...while smiling and appearing jovial when one of my office buddies walked in and said, "hey, I know you like to travel, so check this out...."Delta is flying once again to Turks and Caicos..."..my face was puzzled. He continued, "So with the holidays coming up, you and your beau should take advantage of the promotional flight cost of $99 round-trip"...my response, "Where is that and when are you going" He said, "Its an island, google it. My brother and I are going. You're welcome to travel along"...
Then there's the rest of the story...So I packed up and traveled to a place of smiles, adventures a new place, new dishes, a new culture...a perfect start to a new beginning... where there are endless beautiful beaches,
When we arrived at the small airport, the people wave and yell welcome as you walk from your plane...
My adventures had begun and my travel companions would not be able to keep up with me again... The objectives of my trip were to discover everything there was about TC. As soon as I dropped my bags at my beautiful hotel, which at the time was showing as comfort suites, but when I arrived, the name is truly, "Ports of Calls"...awesome then and even more awesome now! A perfect place to call comfort and entertaining. The bartender, my "dear Watson", will keep you entertained and let you know all the best spots for all the best things to do in Turks and Caicos.
Walking distance to the beach.
You can discover the conch farm or harvest your own , go out with the locals to spearfish, net fish, line fish,...then clean the fish!
We caught fish that I have never heard of...Parrot fish, box fish, butterfly fish, etc..., netted/speared lobster and as we made our way back to shore, I caught a yellow tail with just a line in the water. Did I mention that you should not wear a shiny necklace into the water...they have barracuda fish too!!!!
I had no boundaries, I saw as much as I wanted, ate as much as my body could handle...the locals were friendly and would never let me have a dull moment...every night I was" dog tired" and just crashed with my travel buddies...
By the time my 7 days were up after sharing some of the greatest moments ever...I had enough memories to replace my bad ones and a fresh start for discovering new places, a new experience and a new me!
So broken hearts can go to beautiful places like Turks and Caicos...where the crystal clear waters come up to greet you and the most beautiful sunsets bid you adieu...
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger...damn I am STRONG!
