Grace Bay Club

A guest staying in the penthouse of the Grace Bay Club in the Turks and Caicos remembered one night that his wife’s birthday was the next day, and that he had forgotten to buy her a present. The hotel called security at the island’s airport and the owner of Royal Jewelers, a jewelry store with a duty-free shop there. The airport’s security guard let the guest into the airport, past security, where he met the shop owner, who opened his store for the guest. It was a productive night for both: The guest bought over $12,000 worth of rings, bracelets and earrings, made of precious stones, for his wife who never realized he was gone.
