I'm glad you got Bully, please tell him Arubamark and his family says hello! You can still email him and request a few Balashis. Balashi is the beer of Aruba, the brew it on the island, it is very good considering the high water quality on the island, Give it a shot. Do the Bucaneer on your first night. Tell them Arubamark sent you! Enjoy your trip!!!
Mark,
Thanks so much, you are right , memories will be in the brain. I will tell Bully you said hi, think I will pass on the Balashis, will wait till I'm there in bathing suit to enjoy, will toast you and everyone here at this forum, when i take my first sip. Bucaneer looks very good, have a reservation, but more towards the end of the trip, maybe make one for the 1st nite as well. I will tell them you sent me. As far as Newark, we are leaving at 5:30 am takes about 1/2 hour to get there, our flight 8:30, think that is plenty of time, do u agree ?

Yeah that's perfect!! Have a great time. Ask for Vasty or Angela at the Bucaneer they will make sure you get a great seat. I'm so jealous. Please post when you return.

I just tapped a new 1/2 keg of beer in my kegerator and plan on doing the cigar this afternoon while watching some football. I'll let you know what I think.

Mark,

Deciding between Westin and Divi Phoenix for next trip? Divi has massive construction going on right now. Seems like you may have had your fill of that on this trip. Maybe they will be done by the time you arrive but it still lokks like they have some work to do.

Great report.

You are welcome. Are you guys from NJ? I thought I might have seen that in one of the posts. We are from Brick. That's the Briell, Point Pleasant, Manasqaun are of the shore. Please post when you return. Have fun!

Andrew I have never been to anywhere besides the Renaissance in all my trips. The work that was going on had to go on but it really wasn't anything unbareable. When we return in April all should be back to normal, it's probably pretty close to normal now besides some areas on the private island but nothing major. Good luck with your choice just remember whatever place you choose will be just fine!

Yes we are from NJ, currently in Hoboken
Staying at the radisson for 2 weeks. We are kind of the do nothing types ( 2 year old son will be with us) we just relax, drink to many drinks and love to eat out. Will report on all the restaurants and my casino losses upon our return.
Thanks
