"Look, would you look at that."
"What...the color...its blue?"
"Yeah, but I bet you've never seen that hue of blue before."
-Turks & Caicos Islands was a special place for many reasons. First, it was where my wife and I chose to get married, accompanied by the adventurous spirit of our family and friends who came along for the celebration. Second, The island was, as the saying goes, simply "beautiful by nature." Untouched by urban development, with no traffic lights to stop you, you could drive from one paved end of Providenciales, round then round, then round the roundabout to the other end within 25 min. Along the unpaved roads, riddled with stones the size of fox holes, the dust laden path brims the shocks of the tires on our rental car with humility of the old adage "of the beating path" sets into our bones. As night approaches, the stars glisten along the dusk sky, serenading the passage of our journey like lanterns of eternity. We found the experience tranquil & evolving. The island itself felt untamed with possibilities, yet refined by the economy of high end tourism and cultured taste. With no bazaars, or pesky patron trying to sell you paraphernalia, it brought a touch of class to an already proud set of inhabitants.
Home, that’s where we felt we were once we walked in to the Windchaser Villas: Alizé. It was built with serene foresight, and hindsight. Bleached, weathered white walls, contrast against gray wood accents, the villas is equipped with every amenities imaginable. Behind villa lay the backdrop of windsurfers slicing through the blue horizon. There was nothing we did not love. The road to get here may have been bumpy, but the destination was nothing less than exhilarating. I would dissuade anyone from visiting WCV, it may loose it charm and muddle its pride. But I say this in a selfish thought, when in my hearts or heart, it is an experience everyone should have. One I plan on having again. However you choose to reach Providenciales, pack lightly, and don't over prepare. Just remember, keep left!
