I grew up in a time when 18 was the drinking age in the United States. At 18, our youth can vote for our President, can go off to war to defend our country, and yet they are not grown up enough to drink! Why are they old enough to do these other two things but not drink? Our children are going to drink at 18 just as they are going to at 21. The difference is, in Aruba you can do it legally, here in the US our kids are sneaking to do it.

As far as Aruba, I have been with my girlfriends for the past 13 years and have made several friends in Aruba. I have gone on vacation to Antigua, Mexico, and the Bahamas and by far Aruba has been the best place to vacation. In fact, I myself took three 18 year girls after a graduation last June. We all had a great time.

Go to Aruba, have a great time with your new bride...I would be surprised if you didn't return to the island year after year.
