we went to the spa several times, and i  had the best pre-natal treatment ever, i couldn’t recommend it enough, it was pure heaven. plus, i love their products with eucalyptus aroma, and always bring home their shower gel to take me back to their relaxing spa when i’m home.myseastory-2013-11-17-1

thank you, parrot cay, for yet another amazing and unforgettable weekend with the best friends!

parrot cay is definitely my favorite hotel in turks and caicos, but if you are staying somewhere else, and it’s not busy seasons, i recommend getting a day pass and at least spending the day on island – contact them through their website parrot cay by como.

some pretty good news

myseastoryi promised myself i wouldn’t let this week pass before posting on the blog…it’s been way too long. so here it is, short and sweet, some pretty good news to share with you – james and i are over the moon and can’t wait to meet this little baby for whom we already have so much love.

and fingers crossed, let’s keep these posts coming ;)

his dive story / 47

Hey everyone. I took a hiatus but that doesn’t mean that I have not been diving. In fact, I have been diving every week. I have tons to share with you.

This past weekend, I went both days on the Caicos Cat as my usual dive shop was closed for the low season. We had never stayed on island in September before as we usually travel but we decided to stay this year. The weather was hot and humid but the sea very flat and clear. Both days we traveled to the French Cays which normally is not my fav site but this time, I must say I am now a new convert!

The sites we went to were amazing and so full of life. We saw eagle rays, turtles, sharks, barracudas and dolphins. The reef wall drop off is deep and a bit dark in some areas. Spooky! The corals were all in fairly good shape. BTW, this time of the year, the dive boats are not overly crowded in fact, Saturday we only had 7 divers on board! Yeah man! It was great for me not for the operator though…. Please enjoy the videos.
