Day 3: Grand Turk
Grand Turk - Grand Turk is the largest of the Turks Islands, which are named after an indigenous cactus that actually looks like it's wearing a fez (the Turkish tassel hat). You won't find many fezzes on the island, as there simply aren't that many heads there to wear them! With a population of less than 4,000, what you will find is plenty of room to relax - or swim, dive or fish, and just the weather for doing it; the average temperature ranges from 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit, and a typical year in Grand Turk sees a full 350 days of sunshine. Check out Cockburn Town, featuring a wonderful selection of historical buildings and an unforgettable rustic charm. You'll also find many Colonial-style buildings and ruins, along with The Turks and Caicos National Museum. One of the main draws is diving, and Grand Turk's protected coral reef, which drops to 8,000 feet, is even close enough to shore for beach dives.
Day 4: Half Moon Cay, The Bahamas
Half Moon Cay, the Bahamas - Located on 55-acres of the 2,400-acre Little San Salvador Island, Half Moon Cay has been rated as "Best Private Island" by Porthole Cruise Magazine for the past four years. An international bird sanctuary in the Bahamas (only two percent of the island is developed), the beauty and serenity of Half Moon Cay is second-to-none. There are a variety of exciting and new activities to choose from while exploring this privately owned paradise. You can go horseback riding on the sand and through the surf, take a stingray adventure, visit the Half Moon Lagoon Aqua Park, hike a nature trail or simply relax in an air-conditioned, private beachfront cabana.
Day 5: Nassau, The Bahamas
Nassau, the Bahamas - It's easy to see why Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is also one of the most popular ports in the Caribbean: picture an idyllic place with stretches of perfect white-sand beaches, gracefully swaying coconut palms offering oases of shade, and warm, crystal-clear waters revealing the secrets of incredible multi-colored marine life. Whether you spend the day shopping for duty-free gifts and mementos, taking a carriage ride past sorbet-colored buildings, or touring in a glass-bottom boat, chances are you'll leave this happy place in the Bahamas with lots of beautiful memories.
Day 6: Return Miami
Cameron and I talked a bit about snowboarding vs cruise. We both love snowboarding, but we've done that together a few times. We haven't been on a cruise and hey, we're in Florida!
We would love for family or friends to join us. I have always wanted friends that could travel with us. It seems it's hard with buying homes, having babies, fixing said homes, job commitments, economy issues. I wish we could all just stop and enjoy ourselves. There are reasons we could put it off and not take a vacation and tell ourselves there are other things we can put our money towards....but we'll never be 27 and 30 again. It'll pass us by and what will we say we did?
When our grandkids ask us what we did as a young couple, I don't want to say I bought a new hot water heater, built a new fence, worked in a job I hated, or told myself to enjoy myself later.
It's time to have fun!
Did the pep talk work? Anyone want to join????
