ACE TRIP REPORT 12/10/22 thru 12/17/22. DIVI ARUBA PHOENIX

[ArubaAce]

This will be my 3rd trip to Aruba this year. I went in June, September and now December. My boss commented at my recent one on one, "What is this a trip to Aruba every Quarter". Yup, just like our quarterly one on one. I have to get away from the stress. :>)

I told my boss about this forum and that we all write trip reports, share experiences of places to eat, lodging, car rental and members occasionally meet up. He asked, why do you need a forum when there are probably a few groups on Face Book you can go to? I responded, not the same sir. Those groups on Face Book, people are not helpful or respectful of others opinion, are insulting and condescending. This forum is for mature adults, who are respectful of others even if there are disagreements.

I have my Green check mark, bags are 95% packed just have to pack a few cosmetics tomorrow morning after I shower. Flight leaves JFK on Jet Blue at 8:22am and arrives Aruba at 1:55pm.

Trip will begin and I will continue writing, once CP Jones ask the famous question..

There seems to be a recurring theme in posts lately defending/justifying the forum...?

Safe travels Ace. Looking forward to your posts.

I know that you said that you do not belong to FB, but some of the groups there are just mean and pretty hateful.
Trip Advisor is sometimes the same way.
Folks are apprehensive about asking a question on those sites.
Here, folks are welcomed and treated respectfully.
