We went to Aruba the first time in 1996 on our honeymoon. We took Air Aruba and we were so excited about getting off the plane on the tarmac and feeling the warm air right away! It was November and raining in NJ when we left. We took the shuttle that came free with our all inclusive at the Americana ( now the Occidental)..we stopped at every hotel on the way, and said next time we would take a cab...so I guess we were hooked right away. I couldn't believe the color of the water!! Even though someone else was in the first room we got, and the Meineke muffler convention was going on...
we fell in love with everything! The views, the people, the sunsets, and snorkeling...LOVE. We went back a few years later and stayed at La Cabana in a time share, than a few more years and stayed at Sunset Studio Apartments, and again this year at the studios. We got back June 23rd and I just can't get Aruba out of my mind...I am dying to book our next trip and DH feels the same way. Every time we go it is like our honeymoon all over, and the time away is harder and harder.
