Turks & Caicos was memorable. Last few months have been incredibly stressful for us, and this last minute vacay couldn’t have happened at a better time. We had blocked off last week for a vacay almost 8 months ago but had no clue what we would end up doing – and as this year has progressed, lots of other stresses got in way. So literally the thursday before the monday we left, I booked tickets to T&C, and then booked a last minute hotel after calling a few resorts. Luckily, the air tix to T&C were cheaper than flying to Miami (go figure!), and this being the “low” season in T&C, we were able to get a very good hotel room at a “resonable” price for T&C. For once, booking last minute actually turned out in our favor as even in low season, T&C is actually quite expensive.

We loved T&C, but its hard for me to come to terms with how expensive this place really is. Its a place I recommend anyone who can & afford, should do at least once – but I would be hardpressed to recommend it a second time to anyone, purely because of costs. There isn’t a thing in T&C that you look at sticker price and have a jaw drop moment. Dinner entres at any random decent restarant ran from 35-50$ per entree, drinks a solid 12-15$ and appetizers/desserts anywhere from 15-20$. And oh, did I mention most places charge almost 25% in taxes. Yep.
