hello pxqueen, i am trying to contain my excitement, but finding quite hard. as an English lady i am looking very much forward to the sun. our summer here has been mainly rain. only about two weeks of sunshine. the British weather is poor.
i have never been to a Caribbean island. the furthest i have traveled is to new york x2 times. loved it there.

pxQueen · 08-19-2010, 07:23 PM

Theresa, aka English lady... you better soak in Helioplex Neutrogena 70 SPF sunscreen LOL.. just kidding (sorta) Just be prepared and I am sure you will.
Look how dark ANDREA J is.... and she laps up the sunscreen. Ha HA BTW AJ I like your new picture very nice. Hope you are having a great time.

OK Theresa..let try to focus.. focus... focus... on the here and now. I am 50 but I feel like a little kid , like Santa is coming or something. ! HA!!!

pxQueen · 08-19-2010, 07:25 PM

theresa · 08-20-2010, 02:37 AM

ha ha pxqueen, sunscreen will be packed and ready although i am very white so probably be like a beacon on the beach(just look for the white british couple) ha ha. i am 43 and hubby 45 and yes like you it does feel like christmas. when are you going to aruba or have you already been? my children are so jealous of our trip they are 22yr and 19yr(we did not invite them along) he he. keep telling people this is are honey moon after 19 years of marriage as we did not have one when we got married(funds were low in those days). i would really like to do something special whilst in aruba but not sure what. (any ideas people out there)?

Hi this will be our first time to the beautiful country of Aruba. Staying at the Marriot downtown and looking forward to a great couple days there.
Peace
Tim

Theresa,
Well... I too will be a beacon if I dont make it to the "Spray on tan" appointment. Me and my husband neither one tan well and we "abuse" the sunscreen. Good thing I guess..
THis is our first trip to Aruba.. We are staying at the DIVI Aruba AI. Leaving HOuston...arriving Sept 4-11th. Early birthday and Anniaversary present to me/us. Enjoy!! We plan to take the MiDishu sail and snorkel; then the Jolly Pirates sail and snorkel, also Baby Beach tour (see the landscape and snorkel. Can you tell we like to snorkel??? theresa read the forum intensely and you will find many ideas...
Tim,
Welcome to the forum.. I hear the MARRIOTT is very nice.. Peace back!!!!

Andrea J,
Glad you guys are all ok and....... you do...need a do-over.

Hang in there!
