I joined this site earlier this year and have been lurking for awhile now, but this is my first post. DH (Michael) and I first visited Aruba on a cruise while celebrating our 10-year anniversary in 2002; we were surprised by the mostly arid landscape, but delighted by the friendliness of the people and the overwhelming sense of ease about the island. Imagine the thrill when we realized we could use our timeshare points at La Cabana. Since then we’ve been back twice with our third stay to begin on 11-Dec-2010. Based on recommendations from this forum, I’ve just confirmed taxi services from the airport with Bully. I cannot wait to get my toes in the luscious sand of Eagle Beach, and perhaps meet some of you lovely people.

33 days and counting!!

Thanks Andrea! Woo Hoo :O) So is the Monday night happy hour at Amsterdam Manor or Busters?

You will be among "excellent" company, with Andrea there at the same time. I am sure that you have read and enjoyed her many posts. We are very fortunate to have her as a moderator; and hope that you have an absolutely wonderful time in "Paradise," aka "One Happy Island."

Thanks Ed! I second Andrea's sentiment of your niceness, though your compliment is well deserved by her.

Andrea, I am very much looking forward to meeting you at Buster's and perhaps even around the pool at La Cabana.

Be well

Jen, where in Wisconsin?

Jen Again · 11-09-2010, 02:41 PM

luvsun, our house is in the town of Sun Prairie, just east of Madison.

My son lives in Madison. He graduated from UW last year and decided to stay there and got a job in Madison. Madtown is a great little city...just so cold in the winter.
