My wife and I spent a week in early January in Aruba. We live in Pittsburgh and I am looking out the window at 6 plus inches of new snow. we want to come back but have to wait until nest year unless I am lucky and hit the lottery. I check this board almost daily to keep up with whats going on. We have only been down 3 times in 3 years but I feel it is our second home. For all of you counting days I sincerely envy you but I hope you'll get some sun for us also.

6 inches???, we've been getting buried since we got back from a mid-January Aruba trip. We came back to 36" and have had another 30"+ since in the South Shore area of Massachusetts. Not only do I want to come back to Aruba, I want to move from this Artic hell LOL.....Of well, I vented!

Here in Cleveland watching it snow and I'm smiling away. We will step foot back in Aruba in 11 days and I can't wait.... Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

Here in Cleveland too.... and 153 more LONG days to go

Jill, Are you leaving on 3-13-05, Apple Vacation???? We are also from Cleveland and gonig to Aruba for our 7th trip on the 13th.

Bob, did you now Milt W. at AG???? 153 days that hurts!!!!

Sumjays... there should be some type of counseling. I was in Aruba from 2/5 thru 2/12 and looked forward to it for 6 months before we left. Now I'm back in Chicago and it's freezing, snowing and windy. The trip seems like a blur now. I have about 250 digital pictures and about an hour of digital video to prove I was there but I sure wish I was back there again. The gentlemen who rented me his timeshare for the week was there from week 2 through week 8. Seven weeks in Aruba! Maybe one day, maybe. The only way to shake the Aruba blues is to book your trip for next year.

Russ, that was a typo, 143 more days. Look at that, it's a week and a half closer already. Yes, I know Milt. Worked with him for several years.

Good friends with Milt, sent Milt and Kat to Aruba a year ago. Looks like I saved you a few less days of waiting for your trip!!!!

Russ, yeah I know Kathy too. Milt knows who I am and my wife Lisa also. She's here too.
