"Margaritaville"
We found Margaritaville. The real Margaritaville. The story goes that Jimmy Buffet was visiting Grand Turk Island and thats when he wrote the song. No matter whether it is true or not, Grand Turk, British West Indies is the epitome of what I think of when I think "Margaritaville".
This gorgeous tropical paradise is an 8 mile long 1.5 mile wide island full of surprises. It is known for its amazing snorkling and diving opportunities and crystal clear water.
We docked in Grand Turk about 1:00pm under mostly clear skies and temps in the low 80's. The shopping in Grand Turk is about the same as the other islands except it is only 300 paces from where the ship docks!
We looked around at some stores and then went to the beach. Dana swam in the ocean and I laid in the sun, and then we shopped some more. And then we lounged in the beach chairs some more. All in all a great day.
It is sad to see our week come to an end, it has been an amazing experience and we are now planning our next cruise... to the western Caribbean.
Tomorrow we will get our bags packed up in preparation for our final stop in Ft Lauderdale, where we will spend the night.
Check back tomorrow for a recap of our final day at sea!
I have to leave you with one thought..... If you are in your 60's and have more hair on your back than you do on your head... A speedo is NOT your best choice for a swim suit.

I have loved all your posts, it sounds like an amazing trip, even with the rain and bad/cooler weather. I am so very jealous! :)
I think I would enjoy the people watching. What else do you do while you are enjoying a beautiful tropical island. Sounds gorgeous!
Can't wait until your home. I want to hear everything including your stay on the nude beach. LOL
