    Was there in February. Great trip. Friendly people. Great weather in Feb. I have some coin and currency but don't know where I put it. :/

    A few years back they were recognized for having some of the most beautiful paper money in the world.
    We come every year for 3 weeks since 1991.
    I love it here.
    Maybe someday I can move here.

    End of January for me - cruised the ABC Islands. Also saw CVN-79 in the wild (USS John F. Kennedy) - fresh off the Venezuela 'skirmish'.

    Now we own two weeks at Casa Del Mar so plenty of time around the pool and in the ocean. Nice dinners at night. Usually a trip to the casino to wrap up the night.
    Aruba is quite the gem once you get it figured out.

    We had a ball in Aruba. We managed to accumulate $2700 in winnings at the casinos. A little at a time. The trick is if you win a few bucks get out of there.
    Had some great dinners we know where the best restaurants are.
    I took hope a pocket full of Aruba change. I meant to get some banknotes but just didnt get around to it.
    If anyone ever goes let me know. I can give you a list of the best places to eat.

    I'll be stopping by in September on a cruise. Bonaire and Curacao, too.
