Aruba May 30th

Another great day in Aruba has come and gone! The days are passing by way too fast. Took a ride to the Spanish Lagoon and Mangel Halto with my friend Maryann. The color of the water in this area is beautiful. There was a detour on the main road so we had to venture into some unknown roads. Saw a sign to Frenchman's Pass....decided to take it. We ended up in some real desolate area. Really cool....actually ended up making a big loop...so we did not end up lost. Pit stop at Ling and Sons supermarket and onto beach time.

More sun, sand, drink in hand....floating....etc.....

Dinner tonite was a BBQ with friends on beach. Grills are built in now and nice sitting area. Lots of food and laughs....a great time.  Looking forward to all our friends coming in on Sat!

Aruba May 29th

Good morning from Aruba! This morning started with an early morning rainstorm and another beautiful rainbow. Sun is out now...beach hut reserved and ready for a new day. Yesterday I ventured into the downtown, snapping some pics. Found the store with the Boston hats and shirts....score!

The area beyond downtown has really been cleaned up. Board walks along the ocean side, a new park in the area of Nicky beach. Looking good.

Pit stop at the market on the way back and onto the beach! Sun, sand and drink in hand.....yippee!

Dinner last night was at Amadeus. Once again, awesome meals had by all. Will purchase a couple of bottles of Lost Symphony to bring home.

Tomorrow will take some additional photo adventures and plans are to BBQ for dinner with friends.

I am missing the fur kids....little Miss Lucy is being a brat 'cuz momma is not there!

A few pics......

Doesn't this look nice?

The "hangout"

Aruba May 28th

Well...what can I say....it was just another day in paradise. Oh...we did have a couple of drops of rain....but don't feel bad.....the sun prevailed! Went and had a nice massage at Spa de Sol......so relaxing and I now am truly relaxed. It really does take a few days to unwind and get in the groove.

I even took an afternoon siesta in the hammock...only to look up and see coconuts in the tree above my head. I could only think of one of them falling and smashing me in the head! So.....the siesta ended.

Sunset was beautiful.....

Dinner last night was at the Lighthouse with 6 good friends. It was outstanding! Many thank you's to Sioban and Bobby McGee!

Think this morning I might go down town and see if I can find the special hats...take some pics...etc....

Here are a few pics......

This is the spa I went to.....

Aruba May 27th

Well.....sorry New England friends, but it was another warm sunny day here in Aruba! My morning adventure was to find the Alta Vista chapel so I know exactly how to get there in the dark because I want to take sunrise pictures. Like a dope I got so lost. Good thing is you can only get so lost on the small island of Aruba. Eventually I found it and know exactly how to get there now! Going to do this next week...anyone want to go? I have a couple of people going. Kathy Mackenzie....maybe you wanna go?

Today was the members party and Elvis rocked the house once again!

It was another beautiful sunset and took some sunset pics of friends.

Dinner was nicks homemade pasta and meatballs with our 2 good friends....Maryann and Elvis!

Tues going for a nice massage.....yay!

A view from our room....

A couple of night shots of the resort.........

We are awaiting the arrival of our week 22 friends....the hut is warmed up and the beers are cold! See you all soon......

Aruba May 26th

The day started with coffee on the veranda and taking in the Aruba air and the views. Ahhhhhhh!

After a quick breakfast headed to the supermarket. We checked out the new "Super Foods"...Although 

It was nice and clean and new, I still prefer Ling and Sons! Picked up foods and the required liquids for the week. Back to the resort, unload the goods, load up the cooler and onto the beach! Lots of hugs and hellos from our Aruba friends we have not seen in a year welcoming us back!

The day consisted of meeting up with friends, beach, sun, drinks.....yup....I am finally on vacation!

We went to a new restaurant for dinner called Zuzuroh. Italian/Greek fare. Very good. They have been in business close to a year. They are down the road on right near the "Screaming Eagle Restaurant".

This is a definite redo.

That's it for today......last night's sunset.....

Oh....and here is the semi clown car we have.....it is the "Great Wail".....

May 25th - The Day Is Finally Here!

6:30am pickup...in airport by 7:05.....through checking and security in no time and on to Johhny Rockets for breakfast!
Now at the gate. Plane is here....just waiting......
Hopefully luggage and cooler makes it on plane. We unknowingly checked in at the domestic counter but the guy said no worries...would walk it all over there...I sure hope so!
