I am back! :)


Yes, I am back. And really happy to visit J

Just for a few days but I had to bring again The Little Grand Turk at least to tell what I found on my little beautiful island J

I arrived Wednesday evening on the 5 pm flight from Provo and that was the first surprise. Schedule changed and, of course, price more expensive. USD 95 each way. However I have to say that the employee in Provo was very attentive and charged me only USD 5 for the extra bag with my diving gear.

I had come from Miami with AA 1653 where I found lovely Shannon Fleitas and we had both been upgraded to first class. We waited our ATC flight at Guilley’s where internet is still not working (since I left in December I guess…) but it was great to talk there and just watch around.

Phyllis told me that the weather had been unusually hot and humid in May but these last 10 days had changed to cloudy and a little cooler. Still is. But today I went diving anyway. I went with Smitty, always a beautiful experience and I will dive with Daniel hopefully this week.

The Deli is no longer working and I miss it. Really miss it since my vegetarian options has been reduced dramatically. However I had the chance of enjoying vegetarian wrap at Salt Café last Thursday, vegetarian plate at Salt Raker last night and hoping to have vegetarian quesadillas prepared by Mariam tomorrow at Sand Bar J

I also noticed that the Dominican grocerie store has become bigger and nicer with lots of good and new things. In general, the prices on the island are higher than last December though…

I have been doing my daily walks mainly in the North of the island but I will start walking the South as I used to do when I lived here to see what it is new up there. It is so nice to walk around again looking these beautiful waters around…

I found new buildings close to La Breeza and other places and I will investigate what they are or they are going to be. More to come tomorrow if internet works better. These days has been on and off…
