Perhaps your new companion would be happy making a trip to an island where you don't have any history. While Aruba is a beautiful island, I would expect that this new woman would want to create her own life with you, not live vicariously through your past. I hope you have found a place to stay. I'm sorry that I will not be making your arrangements this time around. Good luck finding something appropriate for you both.

May week 10 be more enjoyable and less eventful than your trip in October.

---- If there are only 2 of you the smaller unit at ABC would be great. Check on that price. Might not include tax/service charge.
Just walked through both the CDM and ABC on 12/30 and both looking great. 215 on 2nd floor overlooks a garden.
Will have a view of the pool but don't think you will have a good view of the ocean/beach. Will be able to see the huts on the beach but don't think you will be up high enough to see the sand on the beach.

Tom,

This does not include any other fees other than the week from the owners. Thanks for the heads up.

ABC just went through an absolutely 100% renovation and I was truly amazed at the results, it really turned out to be a NEW RESORT !!! They really did an excellent job !! We frequently exchange our ownership time for different periods, and have never had second thouhts about weather we would endup in ABC or CDM, we just feel that they are very equal overall, we honestly believe that we, as owners, have the very best accomodation/beach/ location, that we could possibly have , all things considered, and would never change our minds on the investment that we have made at ABC & CDM, and we now own 10 weeks !!!!! Thanks T. " LOVE THAT ARUBA " !!!!

Thank you Doc. I am looking forward to staying at ABC this time around.

Thanks for the great trips and for opening my eyes to a whole new world of Aruba.

Cheers!!
