It was pretty choppy on the

water.

Here's the view of Parrot

taking pictures.

Heidi grabbed the camera,

and here's what happened.

No trouble getting a shady

spot on the beach.

into that sort of thing.

This shot turned out well.

Parrot Cay - April 2005

So, on 19 April 2005, Heidi and I

had been married for 20 years.  We

thought that was worth celebrating.

We took off for a short but indulgent

stay at the Parrot Cay resort on the

Turks and Caicos islands in the

Caribbean.  It's a remarkable place.  

The facilities and the service were

outstanding.  And the location,

somewhat isolated from the main

resort areas of Turks and Caicos,

was ideal.

We spent all of our time unwinding

at the resort and its lovely beach.  It

would have been nice to stay a little

bit longer, and It's not an easy

place to get to from Toronto, at

least not in April when the main

tourist traffic has slowed, but it is

worth the effort.  We really enjoyed

it.
