Hello All,

I have been checking this forum for the past couple of weeks and just wanted to thank everyone for all the great information on Aruba, it will certainly enhance our visit to the island!

My wife and I love the Caribbean and have been semi-frequent visitors to Jamaica as well as other countries over the last decade and have decided to try Aruba for the first time this February.

I enjoy the community feeling that this forum has and believe it is a great advantage over others. Keep the great information coming and I will be sure to report our thoughts on our upcoming stay on a nice island.

Thanks again, Cannuck Jay.

Hello fellow Canadian and welcome to the board!

Aruba is the best and I am sure you will be hooked, just like the rest of us.

Welcome to this great forum, and welcome to the wonderful paradise island of Aruba.

Welcome. Where in Canada are you. If you are anywhere in Alberta or Sask. (as we are in Calgary) we should all drain our bank accounts and charter a plane that leaves this afternoon........geez!

Good morning Cannuck,

Another Canadian? Jeez, we're all over the place.

We live in Winnipeg, and are frequent travellers to Aruba.

For the last few years we've been going there in January, and we've been staying at The Mill.

You'll find this bb warm and friendly, much like Aruba itself. Lots of info here, and because Aruba has such a large selection of good restaurants, bars and casinos, there is no end to the debates over which is best.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy. As someone said here, once you go to Aruba, you'll be hooked.

Glenn

maybe aruba's government should consider changing aruba's name to "GOTCHA" ;-)

Cannuck.Jay · 11-19-2010, 09:49 AM

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes!

We are located in Kingston, Ontario city of limestone and lockdowns. We will be staying at the Manchebo during the last week of February and are really looking forward to the trip.

We have heard about the addictive nature of Aruba so we will be on our guard but not too much.

Thanks, Jay.
