Chadd,

I did not even see them....I was just getting ready to get back onto the catameran (sp?) from snorkeling and all of a sudden it felt like I was being stung by a jellyfish...but nothing was around me that I could see.....Did you have a wetsuit on??? I imagine that would stop those little buggers..!!
Did get to see some cool stuff before they attacked me though...

Sounds like you got hit by jellyfish larvae. The little buggers that I saw were about the size of a grain of rice and moved very quickly. I never wear a wetsuit in Aruba, though I may look for a thin shortie at some point.
