So I’ve been lazing around over the Christmas holidays in the sumptuous and gorgeous Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands and haven’t blogged a minute of it. Very odd for me. I only have one full day left here and I choose NOW to talk about this travel experience?! Oh well, better late than never. So here we go…
Over the last week, I’ve snorkelled with barracudas, nurse sharks, manta rays and tonnes of tropical fish; I’ve kayaked with my sister; I’ve had way, way too many mojitos with the sistahs; I’ve enjoyed a private dinner on the beach; I’ve been sung to by Chef Cookie at a japanese steakhouse; I’ve had damn good poutine in town; I’ve been knocked in the head by a metal door thingy falling on me (of course); I’ve enjoyed a gorgeous day on a boat in one of the most beautiful locations (French Cay); I’ve watched dolphins swim around our snorkel boat; I’ve dived to look for conch; and I’ve gotten to know my step-family so much more. In a nutshell, it’s been a wonderful vacation.
Enough words, here’s the good stuff:

This was my first Christmas vacation away from Winnipeg. It’s been fantastic, but it sure didn’t feel like Christmas. No matter, I will take it (with bells on, I might add). I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your friends and families!
