Sorry I'm going to miss you - would be nice to meet someone else from Minneapolis in Aruba! Wink

Bummer! That would have been nice! We generally go around mid September for around 10 days so maybe next year?

Quite possible! Very Happy

We usually do a trip in late April/early May and then another in mid to late Sept. Usually stay for 9-10 days in April/May and 2 weeks in Sept. but this year we flipped it and stayed longer on our May trip.

And I always knew people from Minneapolis had good taste - you're staying at Amsterdam Manor (our fave!) Wink

YAY! Laughing

Wow! That's awesome! We would like to go every 6 months too. Is it very crowded in April/May? We love going in September...to us it seems like the perfect time to go.

LOL You know that's right! We honeymooned at the now Westin in 2005 and went back and stayed there in 2006. We really didn't care for the crowds and issues in getting a palapa every day. In 2007 we stayed at the Sunset Beach Studios. I liked the place but we had to drive to a beach each day. In 2008 we stayed at the Amsterdam and LOVED IT! We weren't able to go the last 2 years but this year I said WE'RE GOING...AND WE'RE STAYING AT THE AMSTERDAM! Very Happy

Weird question...I work in the Wells Fargo Building downtown and I swear I've seen you down here...your picture looks very familiar.

As long as you go anytime AFTER Easter then it's not crowded and low season has kicked in.

We used to love staying on Palm Beach back in the mid-90's but Aruba was a whole 'nother place back then - wasn't as built up as it is today and Palm Beach was fairly quiet. Once the Riu bought the Aruba Grand we started staying at Amsterdam Manor around 2004. We used to split up our 2 weeks - one week on Eagle Beach and one week on Palm Beach but now we spend all of our time on Eagle Beach. This will be our 25th trip since 1996.

Yep, I do work downtown. Wink

Thanks for the tip!

Wow! That's a true testiment as to how wonderful Aruba is! Even though this isn't our first time, I'm sure there's a lot more about Aruba that we have to learn.

I thought so! Very Happy

We make it our mission/goal on every trip to try and find something new to do or see. Makes the trip more interesting. I love laying on the beach/swimming but need a break every now and then. Of course, every time my husband gets up in the morning and says "let's climb the Hooiberg again today!", I just roll my eyes. Laughing

That's awesome! I'm going to have to suggest that to my husband.

One of the things we love that Aruba is that it's one of those places that you can go to and do nothing but sit on the beach all day every day if you want and don't feel bad doing it...because you know you'll be back! I'm with you though. I need to do something to break up the beach time.

We've been wanting to do one of those Jeep tours (can you believe that we've never done that?). I'm sure you have done this before. If so, is there one that you would recommend?

Thanks for your input! Very Happy

ABC Jeep Tours does the best job! They have a 1/2 day or a full day - just depends on how much you want to see.

We did the jeep tour on our very first trip in 1996. Back then there was only one jeep tour through DePalm Tours. We had a ball but I remember being just filthy from the dust so make sure you keep your jeep up front if you go on one where you're driving - and don't wear white! Laughing

Looks like the 19th BB Party could have some people attending.
