Aruba bound in May 10!

Aussiecam · 10-12-2009, 12:56 AM

Hi everyone, 28 year old Australian single male, Ive always wanted to go to Aruba and it looks like in late May/ Early June after many months of debating whether i should save for a house deposit or go to the Carribbean i figured you only live once so i'm going to Aruba!

I'm staying at the Renaissance for 7 nights (Flying into Aruba from Chicago and out to New York...at least thats the plan!)

So i'm just wondering what people recommend i absolutely have to do, After all this is a once in a lifetime trip and i don't know if i'll ever get back, And i apologise as i realise people probably ask this question all the time!

I figure i'm going to do the island/desert tour, try snorkelling (Can you believe i live in Australia and have never been?) maybe a bit of shopping, (What are they like for clothes/souvenirs?) etc

And if anyone's going around the same time let me know!

Cheers

Cam

Ga Day Mate Welcome, just lurk around a while you have plenty of time to ask specific ? Also look at the activities section.

LOL - I like the way you think.... vacation over a house. If I was a single male - I'd do the same. My wife would kick my butt though if I tried to do that!

Are you spending time in Chicago and New York or just connecting there?

Sounds like some long days of flying!

Thanks guys, Links were really helpful!

Shynyda - I was going to be staying in Chicago a few days, And i've been to the states and New York before....Love the big Apple! I've since found an even cheaper fare through Amsterdam, never been to Mainland Europe so i think i'm going to take that flight instead as it's a $400 AUD difference!

I've also added on 4 nights in Curacao to get another islands experience as well!
