cindy o and Liz,
thanks for the info on bully, I emailed him, but he has not gotten back to me yet, I'll have to bug him again
Liz, I had also sent you something about Cooks, not sure if you answered me yet, have to check.
Serene, I haven't seen you on in awhile , did you make all your reservations for the dinners, ( that is last we chatted ) . Wow sept. coming up quickly, I'm not ArubaBound till Nov., please give a writing when you get back.
I feel bad for ArubaLisa, must be heading back to the states by now, although she has been giving us updates, I look forward to all her advise, not that everyone here isn't helpful. A BIG FAT HELP, I'm so glad I stumbled across this site, all of you are just the best.

Bully had been off the island for approximately two weeks but is now back. As of yesterday at 12:15 p.m. He specifically mentioned that he knew he had to reply to a LOT of emails he received while away.

Hi Kathy--thanks for missing me.
I has a hysterectomy a few weeks back and recovering nicely. Not online as much as i woudlike to be--like you said Sept is soon to come. Joe tells me that our trip is in XX amount of weeks and I am shocked-- I thought it was still May..I lost the whole month of June.

I made reservations at Bistro Beach at the Pheonix and LG Smiths with a dinner certificate from their web page. That is all the ressies i want to make so we can be flexible during our stay.
I have Bully picking us up from the airport to the supermarket then to the radisson.
Just called Amy from MCM tours since Radisson is having a SUPER sale-- 250 room credit-- a breakfast buffet every morning-- and I was able to get that sale or all the same price. Amy even upgraded us to a Gardenview room. GAWD, I am so excited.

serene,
isn't this funny, I also ( in Jan ) had a hysterectomy. I hope everything was fine with you. Nerve wrecking isn't it ?
I heard from Bully, I believe he is also available for us, i had emailed him back, so I'll check again tomorrow. He mentioned in his email, he also does a tour for 40.00 bucks a hour, and being this is our first trip and we really don't know where anything is, we might let him show us some spots of interest. Now that you say it, I might ask him to stop, so we can pick up a few things at supermarket aslo. I am not renting a car, r u ? Good on the choices for eating, I feel I have gone overboard, but I will be constantly updating, I think its better, like your doing , a couple of choices and make others while there, besides it being less stressful. Hey, what kind of room did you book with Amy, I had wanted a partial ocean, spoke with her the other day also, she told me they are not offering a 300.00 credit, plus the free breakfast. I think that is great. I had made a reservation at the sunset grill ( in the Radisson ), at least that will be like eating for free, so I was excited. Anyway, maybe we could exchange email addresses, I'm not sure if we can through here, but we seem to have some things in common, 2 bad we weren't going to be there at the same time. Well keep feeling better and I'll talk to you again soon.
Kathy

ok-- did you get the room credit or not? I looked into a partial oanview room but for a 300+ difference I couldnt see it working- If i want to see the ocean i will go outside. I seen pics of partial OV and you could get a sliver of water.
I sent you a PM-

Partial oceanviews we have had at the Radisson

Aruba Tower
Also overlooked a roof top


We got extremely lucky in getting this room which was next to the oceanfront suite.

Bonaire Tower

The palms are much taller now.

serene, sorry I had written NOT, but meant we are NOW getting a 300.00 instead of the 100.00 like she said at the beginning. we are getting a partial oceanview with a 300.00 food and beverage credit and free breakfast in the morning, I think it was a fantastic deal.
arubalisa, thanks for the pics, i had seen them on one of your sites, I am very happy with my package, and even more so with my 300.00 food and bev. credit ( plan on eating in the sunset grill, which i'm sure will use up some of that 300.00 credit) I do hope I'm lucky enough to get into the aruba tower ( those are a little bigger, yes ?)

Yes, rooms in the Aruba tower are larger, as well as the baths. Either way, it is a terrific resort.
