Not sure what the ages are in your party but, our children and their friends always like to do the 4-wheeling on the back side of the island. If they are not old enough you can double up.

Can you still be bumped even if you select your own seats at time of booking on-line

We never had any other problems booking on line. Just that one time. I always pick my seats when I book. So . . .

Aruhiba is a good Cuban seeded cigar, if your staying at the Tam they have a store there. There is also a small factory where there are tours(can't remember where) but the girl at the Tam could assist. If you must have Cuban request no labels.

us customs is so very familiar and knowledgeable about cuban cigars.
labels, no labels whatever........us customs are not warm and fuzzy kind of folks if you try to sneak them thru.
dear husband in the early 2000s was a victim of his own dishonesty.......he spent big $$ on cubans and was fined.

so if you buy them in aruba..........some 'em there.

my husband now swears that the arubhia cigars are great.

or wait til the embargo and restrictions are abolished with cuba.....should be soon i guess.

The Aruhiban cigars, shop is next to the windmill at the mill, are actually quite nice. You might want to check them out.

yes you can and that is the reason you should watch your flights closely.
I check at least once a week. Booked awesome seats-- they changed planes and moved me to the right side of the plane- was pissed and I called.

Only thing available on the left was right outside the bathrooms- Plane has been sold out for quite a few months now.

Another time we were cruising and did not do boarding passed- they gave my seats away-- we still managed to get on the flight but our seats were not so good.

Watch yoy flight carefully-- and do a boarding pass
