Thank you, Thank you!!!

Many thanks to all of you who write in and tell your stories. They have been such a help in planning our vacation. We just got back last night. Traveled with my hubby and 3 young adult sons..25, 23 and 19!! Our favorite was the ATV tour at KiniKini...Tony "the Tiger" and Little Cesar were the best and the tour was fun..even for me, who has never been on an ATV. I did good. This was our 2nd time and tried Bully, the taxi man. He was great...since this time there were 5 of us, I thought it would be best and he was great...just like you all said he was!!! We stayed at the Divi all inclusive...perfect. We stayed there last time too. I love it. Especially with the boys...eat and drink whenever. perfect. Can't wait to go back.... Thanks again for all your suggestions!
Donna

Thanks just sent an email. Wanted to ask if he will really have beer waiting for our ride to the hotel, but was to scared.

I think that the Riu offers us a ride to the resort, just thought about that. I'll have to call the travel agent.

Arubalisa...Yes, we did have trouble this time...we were wondering why the lines at the desk where so long at 8am!! We usually took the early dinner reservations..and then the boys would eat later at the pizza oven!!

As for the KiniKini tours and the Jolly Pirates, we did book about 2 weeks before we left home. I thought it would be easier than worrying about it beforehand. The guys played golf at the Divi and they booked that when we got there. Luckily for them, it was buy a round of golf, get a round free!! So all 4 could play. They loved it.

One thing about the Divi..you get used to having food/coffee drinks all available whenever....I miss that sooooo much. I had to make my own coffee today. LOL

Have a good day....happy thoughts of Aruba
Donna
