Well, my wife and I returned late last night from paradise! I thought I'd post a little trip story and a couple restaurant reviews and post a couple pics I took

This was my 6th trip and my wife's 4th trip. We arrived Sunday the 19th and immediately began relaxing! We went to a few different restaurants throughout the week and once again came home a few pounds heavier

We ate at Azzurro (ALWAYS a great meal there), Le Petite Cafe (service was a little slow, but food was great!), Scala (VERY good food and a great atmosphere), Iguana Cantina (wasn't the best, but seemed like a cool place...we'll try again), Blossom's (this has become a MUST dinner while we are in Aruba and this time didn't disappoint!), and for lunches TGI Friday's, Hard Rock Cafe, Subway and Sbarro. We rented a Jeep and checked out the Lighthouse (my wife had never been there) and took a couple trails and checked out the other coast

. Also went to Charlies Bar (although it was my first time driving on the island and I took the "long way there", so wifey wasn't too happy

) All in all a GREAT trip and can't wait until we can go again

Here's a couple pics for now, still going through them all (I took over 1,100!)

Thanks guys, I'm already wishing I was back there and wanting another Balashi

I'm still going through all the pics though, but here's a couple more
