Finally here and enjoying

We arrived in Aruba yesterday at 1pm. It took over an hour and a half to get through customs and to get our bags.

Traffic was nasty and they have a detour set up on the highway where you have to go through the high-rise road instead of going straight through.

Had dinner at Passions' last night and it was spectacular! The four of us down here enjoyed everything!

Did some shopping at Price Smart and Ling and Sons. Sitting by the pool now and heading out on the Jolly Pirates cruise at 3pm.

More to come!

You made it through customs and the traffic....now your vacation has officially started!

Glad to hear you enjoyed Passions so much - it's one of our favorites!

Thanks all.... Price Smart is like Sams and does charge about $30 for membership.

Customs and baggage were just SLOW!

Had Tapas for dinner at Salt and Pepper last night, excellent as usual. Off to baby beach for the day!
