I have never been much for birdwatching. Really, I never understood the excitement. But now that I live on a tiny island I find myself watching small things much more closely, including birds. We have ospreys who dive so quickly that they sound like a jet engines, fish eagles, giant brown pelicans, large pink flamingos,…

I Miss My DVR
In our planning for the Fall, when we return to the states, we have of course been discussing television and internet services. While some folks get excited about home theater system speakers and great new televisions, I am most excited to have a DVR again. You see, I was only introduced to the great DVR…
Should TCI Government Try P90X?
While I am really not a fan of extreme workout systems like P90X, I am in favor of people exercising. As I reported over on The Morton Report’s The Great Fitness Dilemma, “I don’t love yoga. And, quite frankly, I can also live without running, aerobics, hybrid workouts, and any weight room routine that involves…
Prescriptions In Paradise
One of the first things I noticed when we moved to the Caribbean was how much less expensive prescription drugs cost, even when paying cash. Seriously, when you can buy medications from every other country, and are not worried about in-country trademark restrictions, you can score much better pricing. Even the generic hair loss treatment…

Space Saving
While in my previous existence I had tons of space, here in the Turks and Caicos I have learned to live in smaller space and with a lot less stuff. Even when I had my pilates studio I tried to make the most out of a small room by using Slat Wall Fixtures for storage…
Driving in Paradise
I LOVE to drive! Really, I do. There is nothing quite as much fun as tearing down the open highway in a really really fast car. In the states one thing I could always count on was traffic signs. There is always fair warning before you get to an entrance or exit. On Providenciales there…
Escaping the Caribbean
While living on a small island may seem like paradise, it can also feel like prison. Literally you realize that the only way off is by boat and you can see the limits of where you live. Add to this the fact that you live in a country where you pay out the wazoo to…
Wiring In the Caribbean
I am always amazed at how wired and connected we are, even in this tiny Caribbean country and on my even tinier island. Most hotels have full wifi, there is decent 2G and 3G data/phone service via Digicel, LIME, and IslandCom, and as long as we continue to buy network cable and lay it out…
Buggies, Golf Carts, and Cars
I am always amused when people ask me if we have a car on Parrot Cay. Our island is tiny, and the entire thing is the resort, so we only drive golf carts and buggies. There a few trucks for transporting containers and fuel when they come in by boat, a flatbed, and a pick…
