Ten reasons to go to the Turks and Caicos Islands RIGHT NOW:
- Great weather. Yes, there’s great weather there almost all the time, but I have found May-June to be particularly wonderful at the beach. It’s warm enough for swimming, but not so warm that you’re taking a seawater bath, and the sandblasting winds of winter have become a welcome breeze.
- Fewer people. The busy social scene of winter is over and you can enjoy the natural beauty in solitude.
- Things are still open. Local businesses have not yet closed for the off-season, so it’s still easy to find restaurants and bars that are open, and the stores are still well-stocked.
- I-Soon-Reach has joined the Turks Head Brewery family of beers (with Ain-Ga-Lie, Gon-Ta-Nort and Down-Da-Road) and needs sampling.
- Even very rich spring-breakers tend to go elsewhere.
- Trump drama.
- Brexit drama.
- Trudeau drama.
- It’s pollen season in northern climes. Clear your head.
- I don’t have a tenth reason. I simply claimed ten because that’s the listicle tradition (and for the record, I am not a fan of listicles but not above doing one). If you’ve got a number ten for me, please share!
