They pick you up from the airport...

and take you to a local marina, from which it is about a 20-30 minute boat ride along

the coast to Parrot Cay.

Heidi on the boat to Parrot Cay.

It was pretty choppy on the water.

A storm had passed through the day before which left some of the roads, and even some

of the airport, under inches of water.

Me on the boat.

After checking-in (with a glass of champagne)..

...and being given a thumbnail overview of the resort, we started to look around.

Here's the view of Parrot Cay's essentially deserted beach. 

It's probably about a kilometer, with nothing on it.

Heidi insisting that I stop taking pictures.

And we've only been here for 24 hours.

Heidi grabbed the camera, and here's what happened.

No trouble getting a shady spot on the beach.

Beautiful turquoise Caribbean water.

Some of the gardens on the Parrot Cay grounds

There is a spa, if you are into that sort of thing.

This is the lobby.

Yet another poolside shot.

On of the local lizards.

Massive irrigation keeps Parrot Cay lush...

...even though the Turks and Caicos are very dry with sparse vegetation

Heidi, by now sick of me and my new camera

Ditto

This shot turned out well.

Lounging on the balcony of our room.

We can only dream of this kind of vegetation in Ontario.

This is Parrot Cay, taken from the boat on the return trip to Providenciales.

Our captain, for the return trip.

Heading for the plane.

I don't really want to advertise for US Air...

... but I kinda like this picture of our plane
