Actually we settled in the minute we got here . When we
come to the beach-this is where we come. It feels like home. It is our slice of
heaven of the world. Truly paradise.
Back to the beautiful island of Turks and Caicos for us!
We have come here for about 6 yrs. now each November but skipped last year for
a variety of reasons and so has been two years. Feels soooooooo good to be
back!
We stay in a condo belonging to one of my Hubby’s really
close clients and get a great deal here. A really sweet deal for this kind of
luxury. We are very very lucky. The condo we used to stay in was this client’s
brother and he sold and now this one is also for sale L(((there were people
visiting it today while we were here). So wish we had money to buy it!!! Nice to
dream sometimes isn’t it?
I remember the first time we came about 7 yrs. ago my husband’s
client sent us here for free! It was so generous of him. My husband is their family’s
real estate attorney and he offered his condo in Turks to us. We had no idea it
would look/feel/be like THIS. When the concierge walked us to our “room” we
gasped literally and we actually thought we were in the reception of the hotel.
It is so gorgeous ad right on the beach and a full kitchen etc. We cook all of
our meals except 3 lunches and three dinners over the 12 days we are here in
order to live the apartment life but more importantly to save money as food extremely
expensive here. Ever since that first week here that we were given as a gift ,
of course now we pay for the condo, but get a much better deal than if we
booked it ourselves so it is actually (somewhat) affordable and totally worth
it to go into any kind of debt for this vacation.
We love it so much that we actually are even depressed
the first day knowing that it will be our last time as condo for sale (miracle
we are here even this week). We are so so so so in love with this place.
Yesterday was perfect. Smooth air schedule for once and
non eventful travel. Arrived to gorgeous weather and headed straight for the
beach. Had a yummy lunch right at the bar in the pool. Watched the sunset.
Headed out to do a HUGE grocery order for the 12 days and got back and unpacked
and fully organized. Watched a movie and went to bed.
Today another gorgeous beach day and walked and read. As
of tomorrow will be more active and top of our list is to learn to stand up
paddle, go sailing, walk 2 hrs a day, play tennis every second night, Hubby
will jog every alternate night, go to all new restos, and foster a local popcake dog for a day and walk it on the beach which here is common thing. We
also want to do the conch excursion and parasail and find a condo to go to the
next time.
Right now hubby is cooking up red curry chicken with nann
and homemade raita and rice and green beans. Jazz music playing from the speakers He is the
best. I am blogging. We will watch Grey's Anatomy tonight and shower in the double
shower amazing open bathroom.
Before getting here we worked literally about 16 hrs days
for many days. Both of us-it was really crazy. Neither of us thought that this
was a busy time of year for our businesses but thankfully we were wrong. When
back December is turning out to be one of my biggest months this year and unexpectedly
too. I am getting into much new part so my business includes lots of HR consulting
and lots of business development too. I won’t
be able to breathe in December at all but so worth it to be able to gather money
to come to places like thisJ
Life is very beautiful for the moment. A calmness amongst
the plentiful storms that were 2014 and slowly becoming more of memories that
our present reality. We both feel calm and content and professionally happy right now. We know
there are many more storms to hit us-but for now we have a chance to breathe. And
we are counting this as a true blessing.
We found sun here, good beer, we are in love after 20
yrs, the condo is not yet sold and we feel like we are in heaven.
Ahhhhhhhh..life is good
PS-I will hopefully blog a lot while here but don’t worry
I won’t bore you with travel blogs as not a whole lot to say at the beach! I am
looking forward to blogging about many things that have been wandering in my
mind and I never have time to write about.
