Is there anything that I can bring that is hard to get there? Anything to barter with? ex) redsox gear was a prized possession in Mexico or coins for the kids in St Thomas. First trip there, so excited! |

Congrats on your first Aruba trip!
No bartering in Aruba like there is in Mexico. Aruba is a fairly middle-class country. In the stores/shops, the price is the price. The only place you can do a little haggling over price are at the high end jewelry stores - but again, no bartering.
We will be there in April as well - probably the first 2 weeks. _________________ ~Amy~®

Congratulations Stipah!! After my first trip I fell in love with Aruba and am heading back for the 6th trip in April. As for the Redsox gear, our friend always brings sports hats and apparrel to give to the beach attendants.....and he always seems to get preferred treatment!!!!!
Amy,
We will be in Aruba the 1st two weeks in April also. I hope to finally meet you!! Is the gathering still on Mondays??

Yes, the bulletin board parties are still every Monday at 5pm.
Haven't booked our flights yet but right now leaning toward 4/2 - 4/16. Mike needs to be back early for work this year so the 16th is the latest he can stay. We're just thankful that Easter is early this year.
Hope to see everyone there! _________________ ~Amy~®

Darn! I'm going to miss seeing alot of people this year.
We still have to adhere to work schedules to a certain degree so had to move the trip up to early April...unless something changes within the next month or so.....
Al & Paula and Ingrid - hope to see you next year...in ARUBA! _________________ ~Amy~®

Not sure yet....now Mike is saying he needs to fly back on the 14th or 15th to be back to work. Still working out the details. Looks like I may fly down alone for a few days since I want to spend 2 weeks there and Mike will fly down a few days later and probably spend 9-10 days. Stupid work always gets in the way. _________________ ~Amy~®
