Jan 2012 - Turks and Caicos Islands
A winter escape to the Caribbean! The primary purpose was to snorkel, and with the 3rd largest coral reef system in the world, the Turks and Caicos were wonderful. Unfortunately my underwater camera broke after about 5 minutes (again... this time out of warranty) so I don't have many pictures here. However, we did see.. fish of every variety, sea turtles, dolphins, and a sting ray. And relaxed on the beach in January.
