Bug spray is really needed most places here at the moment, but you can buy it almost everywhere in Aruba, so no need to bring it.

Very happy to hear the Trade Winds have come back (at last!) -- hope this helps with the skeets!

Let's hope so, leaving on Friday for first ever visit. Wouldn't want the little buggers to make it my last. 3,000 miles is a long way to go for a spoiled holiday.
An update on weather/mossies would be appreciated.
Pete

We will be on the island Fri. Hubby is a magnet for anything that bites. Hope the tradewinds have helped.
