I love Aruba. You have to remember right now all of the NUTS are out. So not much good is being said. Remember crime is all over the world. Just read your paper or watch the news. I've been to Aruba over 17 times. And I loved it everytime. Yes, Aruba has drugs. But tell me what country, state, city, or town that does not! Whats happening now in Aruba is not the fault of the people but the goverment. As for the strays. Yes they do hame them. However, when I was there in April the stray that was at my hotel ate very well every day. One lady would make her husband get food for the dog before she let him eat. We all had some fun with him. The people of Aruba are some of the best. Go and have a wonderful time.
