I really love the snuba diving, so if they're comfortable swimming that's something I would suggest. I believe they're all old enough for snuba, and they might enjoy the scuba feeling of being submerged without having to have the tank on their backs, or the mandatory training courses prior to diving. The older ones might also enjoy the ATV tours (double-check if 18 is old enough, but I think it is). The first time I went to Aruba, I was around 18. Some very close friends of mine are from Aruba, and my mom sent me to stay with them for 2 weeks on the island (would you believe I was really mad that my mom sent me there???? ) For the two weeks I was there, we rode all over the place on scooters and it was an absurd amount of fun for me. I've been in love with the place ever since. Maybe the younger ones might enjoy the off-road adventures as much as I did .
Does the #5 train stop at Reina Beatrix International?

I enjoyed reading your trip report, it sounds like you had a great time, and this is coming from a red sox fan !!! Too bad the red sox and yankees weren't playing each other during your vacation. You could have watched the game at champions in the marriott. There is always a whole bunch of Boston and New York fans there during any baseball or football games. 96 days to Aruba

That would have been fun, but every time Farnsworth would have been on the mound for the Yankees, I would've had to mysteriously disappear to the beach for a while.....

What would you hate more to happen in Aruba: a really bad sunburn, or to have this guy as your neighbor in the hotel???
