Why I Don't Need (or Want) A Cell Phone in Aruba

My 2 cents on cell phones in Aruba. None of us are going to convince each other to use or not use a cell phone while on vacation, just a matter of priorities for each person. But here is why I don't use one...

Scuba and the 10 Year Old

Dd did so well and enjoyed the snorkeling so much the day we sailed on Tranquilo, the next day she enrolled in a "Discover Scuba" course and the 3 of us dove the Pedernales late afternoon. All in all both were a great experience.

Another Aruba All Inclusive Vacation?

Even last year when dh and I took dd to Aruba, it dawned on us, that though our dd was staying free in our room at the Radisson, we still had to feed her. I know, naive of us huh?

YES, One Week IS Too Short!

Remember my post, "Is One Week In Aruba Too Short?"

Dh and I got to talking about our stay in Aruba last September. It was nice, the island was quiet, kids are back in school. Well except ours of course and the weather is good.

God Bless The USA

9-11...comes every year and I don't know what to say. Something should be said but are there REALLY any words to express what happened on that horrible day in our history? My 93 year old grandmother says she can only compare the events of 9-11 to the attack on Pearl Harbor. In her mind at least all these years later, 9-11 was much more horrific for the United States. I can only imagine.

Is Aruba Heaven on Earth?

Dd found out this weekend when you stay at the Tamarijn in Aruba there is unlimited soda, self service soft serve ice cream and pop corn.

A Sad Day in the Opera World

A sad day the world over today with the loss of Luciano Pavarotti. Can anyone ever take his place? No, he was one of a kind. But who else is on the horizon?

Sure Not Everyone Loves Aruba

First impressions are always important. Didn't our mother's drill that into our heads? My first visit to Aruba I hated it. I could care less if I ever returned. I TOO said, "what the heck is the big fuss all about"? My parents who went to Aruba for 2 weeks every February and RAVED about this place. What is the fascination?
