Aruba this summer?

[hatteras]

A vacation in Aruba is wonderful any time, but I wish I were going there this summer. I much prefer Aruban summers over the heat and humidity here in Va. We are forecast to hit 98 degrees here on Tues., the last day of May. I'd love to go to Aruba to cool off.

Been to Aruba during many different months throughout the years (Jan, April, May, Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec.) but never during the summer months.

Summer for us is usually spent here in Minneapolis enjoying the city lakes, backyard BBQ's, Target Field, theater, etc. - or for the past few years now it's been our "new destination" travel time (Napa Valley, San Fran, Amsterdam, London, Paris). I'm sure Aruba is great in the summer, too, but right now, for us, we'll stick to the spring/fall months in Aruba when the weather is less desirable elsewhere.

Happy travels, everyone!

I just said to dh last night, that it is time to head to Aruba to "cool off".

My husband and I have been coming to Aruba for many years. We happily decend on the island in December and June for two weeks each time. I actually prefer coming in June. Weather (always wonderful) just seems a little more "moisture free" in June and there is no chill to the pool water no matter what time of day you take a dip. Our next trip is 3 days away at our timeshare at the Surf Club. After quintuple bypass, Aruba is also my therapeutic oasis. I come back to NJ a happier and healthier person. What more could anyone ask?

We honeymooned in Aruba in August ten years ago. We have been returning in July and August almost every year now. We love it here, beautiful people, beaches, weather, sunrises and sunsets, all types of activities. It is a place where you can do as little, or as much as you want. We both can totally relax in Aruba, making important decisions as: beach or pool first? Where shall we eat? And...... what should we eat? LOL, A1patti

why Aruba ? warm water,beautiful beaches & weather and amazing people..where else can you go once or twice a year and the people there treat you like you never left? You never Have to BE anywhere at a certain time in Aruba ...its the 1 or 2 times a year that YOU make the rules no boss, no work, no schedule ...it's what we all want in life the freedom to be US...... 45 days til we get to visit the other half of our family ......our Aruba family....

The clincher for me is that it is out of the hurricane belt. Dealt with one in N. Carolina years ago, not pretty. Also, I love the trade winds, you don't get that icky sticky hot feeling. There was only one thing I wanted to do that Aruba does not have and that is a dolphin experience. But, all things aside, Aruba is as close to heaven as one can get.

there has been much talk/heated discussion in aruba over the DOLPHIN EXPERIENCE.

many pro
very very many anti

google "the cove"
watch it and see if you change your mind about the dolphin experience.

(and i am a person that has been to Discovery Cove in Orland 3x)
