Turks and Caicos

 My family and I have visited Turks and Caicos every Thanksgiving week for the past four years.  Next year being my 5^th year, I know where everything is and know much of the staff.  Some of the staff even knows me!  The Turks and Caicos are known for their great beaches and dive spots.  I enjoy both of them while I am there. I have always loved the beach and ocean. The beaches have warm sand and beautiful turquoise water. I love being able to relax in the warm ocean water without being trampled by waves. There are many things that are available to do right at the beach. One of my favorite things is to go out on a big water bike. It looks like a large tricycle, but is much harder to pedal. I also enjoy going out into the ocean on a hobby kat. I like sailing through the water by the power of the wind.

I also like the numerous other pools and activities. Aside from the pools there is also a large water park. I enjoy going down the slides and drifting down the lazy river. I also like boogie boarding on the surf simulator. My favorite pool is in the French Village. I like that it is not as crowed as some of the other pools. It is usually a nice temperature. The best thing about most of the pools is that they have a swim up bar!

I also like to go out on the kitty kat. The kitty kat is a large catamaran owned by the resort. In my most recent trip I went out on a night cruise. During the cruise there was a dj. I was able to see how the island looked at night. The cruise was a highlight of the entire trip for me.

I got certified as a scuba diver four years ago during my first visit to Beaches, Turks and Caicos. I have been spoiled by Turks and Caicos amazing diving and will probably be unimpressed at other dive locations. During my dives I am in awe of all of the sea animals and the coral reefs. I recently saw a big sea turtle and shark. I enjoy scuba diving because I can become a part of the under sea creature world. I can really see how they live. Turks and Caicos is by far my favorite tropical vacation so far. I hope to enjoy it in years to come.
