Snowbirds fly to Turks and Caicos

As I called my father in England to wish him a happy birthday on Tuesday, he said it was really cold over there. Hard to imagine when we are sitting in as little clothing as possible and yearning to get in the sea to cool off, instead of being in front of the computer in the office.

Then a girlfriend in South Carolina called and said it was cold there. She is returning to her little house on the canal next week, for her five month stay to paint.

So it seems that the weather is turning cold quickly .Time for the snowbirds from all over the world,to prepare to come here for their winter season of catching up with friends,reading,sunning,diving,fishing and whatever.

Perhaps you should and could think about joining them?It's a great place to unwind and take stock of what's important in life.

As Delta announced recently that they were putting on an extra direct flight from Atlanta,we must have something that lots of people want.

There are owners of all sorts of properties who would be happy to rent to you from one month to a year...depends on how long you need to feel completely relaxed and integrated!

Call or e mail me for information on rentals available and maybe you will want to buy that little piece of paradise for yourself .It's all that easy.

Good friends in Turks and Caicos

What did you do on Sunday?

I put the coffee on early morning and my husband watched a little British rugby on television,remarking on all the crowds in the stands dressed up in scarves and coats.

We do not possess any winter attire and living here, we forget about the change of seasons.

Good friends of ours left island in April to return to UK after a two year stay on island.We all missed them a lot.They booked a trip back almost immediately and arrived on Wednesday for a ten day stay.

It's been a perfect excuse to slack off work and join in the fun so today Jules and Tony, who own the Unicorn Bookstore on island,invited us on their boat so we headed down to meet them at the dock in Leeward.It was just like old times.

The water was calm and the sun, hot. Not any boats out there today so guess people are still off island.We spent a good half hour deciding which stretch of empty beach, and on which island, we were going to park ourselves for the day.Tough decision!

We ended up on Fort George, well known for sand dollars and pretty shells. It was only a few minutes from launch site and yet there we were as if on a deserted island, miles from civilisation.

An opportunity to catch up on news and views, and as we sat thinking how lucky we are to live here, whilst Pat and Paul tried to work out how they could return here fulltime.

It really does make you feel alive and appreciate every day where the woes of the world pass you by. We may have high utility bills and food costs but we have very few other expenses and when we get out on that clear turquoise water, with good friends, there's nothing to compare.

Visit my website http://www.caribbeanhomefinder.net/ to see the life style here .

Better still come and experience it first hand.

Global Downturn Blues?

Want to escape the bad news? In the Turks and Caicos Islands we choose whether we want to hear and see it on the television and then think ourselves lucky we live here, escaping the doom and gloom of the real world.

Beginning to think of that winter wardrobe of boots and hats?

Come to our little piece of paradise and you will wonder what kept you away for so long.

You won't need many clothes and you'll bring far too many anyway...

The weather is perfect if you like to be warm constantly,the beaches are beautiful and you can walk for miles. The sea is warm and turquoise blue like you have never seen before and you really can get away from it all.

Many nationalities have decided that investing in property here is a sound decision. Being a British overseas territory with land title protected by the Crown and the lack of personal taxation, canny buyers have been lured into wanting to own a part of this haven in the Caribbean.

There are great restaurants, the best diving in the world and deep sea fishing, water sports for those who want to be busy and my preference every time ? Lying on the beach watching the busy people!

It has got to be one of the best places to chill out and that's what is needed right now.Right?

Check out my website to get tempted to look at real estate here http://www.caribbeanhomefinder.net/

There are just a few of the select properties available and as a sales associate within the Turks and Caicos Realty Association, I am able to access all inventory enabling me to carefully match clients and property which best suits their life style and requirements.

You can get a feel for the life here from the pictures we took.

I am gearing up for a busy season and thank all of you who have been e mailing me with your promises to come over...I look forward to meeting you and sharing what the Turks and Caicos islands have to offer.

Don't delay, book that flight and have something to look forward to bigtime!

Just a thought for you British ladies out there

A very good girlfriend of mine from UK asked to come and stay for a second time in the year. She had enjoyed herself so much in the summer that instead of going to Europe skiing in the New year, she opted for the sun in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

She is a very successful business woman who owns her own recruitment company and recently went through a divorce after twenty years of marriage...anyhow, I was thinking about her and several other women of independent means, who I know well, who have found themselves on their own not knowing where to go or what they really want.
Some are suffering from empty nest syndrome, others alone without partners. - a little lost.

I have often thought that if I was alone, where would I go if I needed a break?
I would want to be in a safe place, in control ( wouldn't want to feel "on the market") and not surrounded by families enjoying their annual playtime together.
This is the place! Little nightlife but lots of sun and sand and beautiful beaches.

So now my friend comes to Turks and Caicos and returns as often as she can to recharge her batteries and get out of the rat race.
She plucked up courage to travel alone and experienced the relaxed friendly life style we have here. She is very envious of us when we stay all year round.

Before going into real estate, I wondered if ladies alone for whatever reason, knew about this island and if they felt confident to travel here,they would realise what a friendly, fun place it is;somewhere where they could be themselves for a while or even find themselves!

When my friend returned here for a second time, she was greeted by all our friends like a long lost family member and soon slotted straight back into our social life (which was hectic being holiday time).She forgot to feel sorry for herself and I forgot she had to go home and earn a living!

I think she is a great advertisement for the place and an inspiration for other women in similar circumstances.

She called me last night and said she was coming back again in the summer and bringing her sons to learn to dive. I think it's about time she bit the bullet and bought her own place!

So the conclusion is that being alone and coming here for a break is a good idea. Even better is buying your own little place to escape to, but for the time being, why not come over and check it out?

We have beautiful hotels and villas to rent, restaurants to suit every palate, safe beaches with no beach vendors, lots of people who will give you a warm welcome and it's English speaking so forget the phrase book. We drive on the left, have the American dollar (great exchange rate) and life is laid back, with ooddles of sunshine.

Call me when you are arriving just to say Hi and that you got this brilliant idea from my blog!!

Could I tempt you to buy that brand new apartment on the beach ?
Have seen a beauty this morning and it's at a great price.
You won't regret it...see you soon
