Trip report 9/22-10/5

[LisaGrn]

Hope you are enjoying your last day! Have loved your trip reports and so glad you enjoyed the tour with Neil of Aruban businesses. Yes, that rum shop is a very dangerous place! LOL!
Laura, if you enjoyed the visit to Marian and Ciro Abath's glass-making studio, you may want to consider adding Marian's glass bead-making class next trip. It was loads of fun and I managed to make enough beads for a bracelet (Marian puts them together for you; of course, I promptly broke it once home and now just have my beads in a little dish to remind me!). It's something very different to do, and Marian is not only lovely but a wonderful and patient teacher.
Safe travels home! The leaf peepers will be out in droves!

Thanks for the report. It really helps to chase away the "I wish I was in Aruba blues".

Still exhausted from travel day. I think I caught sniffles at the airport. 2:15 flight, had to be at gate by 1:00, boarding at 1:30. Got to airport at 10. Did not have to wait in line for boarding pass since I splurged on first class, but there were decent lines at each counter that probably took about 30 minutes. Immigration line took about 2 minutes. Airport security took about 15 minutes. Customs was different again. No card to fill out and no standing at a kiosk to fill out the info - went to counter and was asked if I purchased more than $1,000 or had any food - no and no - ok. Done! that took about 10 minutes because of lines. Customs security about 15-20 minutes... At One Happy Bar just as they opened!!

FB changed album sharing rules so I can't share my albums like I did last year.
