    God, the ants in Turks & Caicos were a nightmare, and food is crazy expensive. People who live there must have all their shit locked down or they’d be broke in a week. I always say I want to live somewhere tropical, but that had me rethinking some things.

      Locals probably pay a different price than tourists. I have never been there specifically but this seems to be the rule in places where there is large income inequality between people who live there and visitors.

        I’m not sure - we went to the grocery store in the residential area. We always do. It’s just expensive to ship anything, so islands are always really pricey.
