new restaurant being built at the airport

they're currently constructing a new facility to the airport (in between the domestic and non-domestic terminals or departing and arrival terminals). or, it's located as soon as you exit the ticketing counter after you check in at the departure terminal and make your way to the aruba passport customs on the outside. the sign and picture states that a restaurant and bar is opening up by next year. it looked like only the foundation was built.

i still vote for slot machines and a few low dollar price craps and roulette at the departure area.
for those that cannot get enough casino action...........i think slots would be wonderful for those adults like me that love them.

also too...............a rooftop pool with tons of seating and shade and shower and changing rooms

so much time on the departure is wasted sitting in that darn crying room.

i agree. slots is the way to go. they should convert that whole waiting area where the duty free shop is to slots and move the shops to the gate areas.

i was accused by private message of promoting alcoholism or inebriation


for those that do not "get it" the "of course there must be alcoholic beverages (free)
was in jest.....or was it

some folks have got way too much time to pick at words and lighthearted comments.

having some fun on the forum is not a no no
