Well it was another great two weeks in Aruba. We did two weeks at the Marriott Ocean Club instead of splitting it between the Ocean Club and Surf Club. The Surf Club is just too crowded right now for my liking. They're renovating the Ocean Club pool and from what I've heard it will be even nicer than before. We went to Ruth Chris' Steak House a couple of times and it was magnificant. Of course we did Driftwood and Amazonia and the service and meal was it usual outstanding. We were with friends who never went snorkeling so we took them on the Red Sail 1/2 Day Snorkel trip. This was the first time that there was no wind, so at the Antille wreck it was as calm as could be. Everyone was able to see the wreck, even from the boat. This year we flew American Airlines and won't make that mistake again. Coming home to Boston we had a lay-over at JFK for over two hours, then sat on a hot small plane on the runway for 45 minutes before taking off for Boston. We will stick with US Air in the future. If anyone is looking for any information or recommendations just drop me a line.

Thanks for the update. What a fantastic opportunity to be at the Antilla with no wind (current).

AA used to be first choice years ago. Not so now. Unfortunately, unless we want to "fly north to go south" AA is our only choice out of Miami.
