I have read messages from owners of time-shares at the Occidental. What about the all-inclusive aspect? is this open? Does anyone know? Thanks a bunch!

why isn't there anything in this message board about an American missing. I will never go to Aruba!

Who care's if you ever go back.

This is to Deb. What about all of the missing in the United States. What about those that have gone missing on cruise ships. Will you boycott the U.S. and all cruise ships?

americans are missing in atlanta. americans are missing in iraq, americans are missing in texas. anyone supporting a boycott of aruba will miss a chance to visit a true paradise... their loss ... big tom

DEB: You may as well leave this country too....there are numerous people missing here!!!!!

The American girl is a shame, but I agree with the above post, who cares if you ever go back? I got news for you, tragedy happens everywhere, so you may want to just stay in your house and not go outside.

everyone makes it seem like she is the only american missing, if you take a good look at your local newspaper it is all over your home town. i do feel bad for the family since i am a mother as well but you really cant blame the people of aruba. i have been many places and find aruba is the safest as well as having the friendliest people. (no machine guns on beaches etc...)aruba will always be my home away from home. (1 week and counting). i am guessing you have not traveled to much since you feel aruba is unsafe.

For your info Deb, the message board re: what you are inquiring about was taken off long ago....thank goodness!!! No one has forgotten about it, and no inquiries have been posted for quite some time, but within the last couple of days it has been in the news again, so I'm sure many more people will be inquiring about the same thing. As far as you never going to Aruba....that's fine and dandy my me and I'm sure makes everyone, return visitors to the island as well as the Aruban people themselves, quite happy. You have probably never been there in the first place and are making a judgement on one unfortunate incident! How many missing children and adults are there in the good 'ole USA that you never even hear about any longer??? Seems like we have forgotten our missing people in OUR OWN COUNTRY!!!! I have been to Aruba 4 times in less than 2 years and plan on going back again this summer and in December. The people are some of the most kindest and generous people you will meet anywhere and I for one, CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK THERE! People with an attitude like you have don't need to go to Aruba.....they don't want you there! So, why don't you just make yourself useful, stay at home whereever you live, and maybe go out and look for some of the missing people in the states!!! I LOVE ARUBA!!!!

Deb if you have read this board a few months back thats what was on this board every day,people will still continue to go to Aruba,we are all very sorry to what happened on the Island but this wont stop people from going to Aruba, after all people are missing in the USA every day,Im sorry you wont be going to Aruba it is still one beautiful place to visit.
