Hubby and I are back to Aruba on Friday.
Still trying to think of some new and interesting things to do on this trip....or maybe revisit some things we haven't done in awhile. I'm open to suggestions! _________________ ~Amy~®

Hi Amy, have a lot of fun. Too bad we miss out in you and Mike. If you like a nice drink and some music, you can go to Casibari Cafe. I think Wednesday is the night they have a band. Most of the time it is jazz, which is rare to come by on Aruba. But don't do the BBQ there, it has no taste at all. I want to have a good trip report before we leave, so we know what we should be doing just after you left. |

Ingrid - thanks! We do like jazz so I'll put it on our list! Sounds like it would be a fun evening.
Carol - we're going earlier than usual this year. Usually don't go until around April 20th or so but with Easter being so late this year we decided to go either early April or early May - we opted for early April. _________________ ~Amy~®

I can't believe it is here already! I'm interested to get your opinion of the new menu at a Tulip!
One interesting thing we did last year was visit the studio of artist Eisa Legeun. Her work is modern, if you like that. Like Carol said, I'm sure you will have a good time. I am nervous that St. Maarten is no way going to compare to Aruba! _________________ Christmas 2015 at Disney World!
Hope Santa can find me! |

Arrived yesterday at 2pm. All is good here...it's like being back "home". Had happy hour with some friends last night that lasted WAY past happy hour. It was fun catching up with everyone. _________________ ~Amy~®

Amy, we are in need of a daily report here. I hope you and Mike have a great time. We want to share that with you through your reports. For starters: what room did you recieve this time? If ground floor, I will send over some lady entering your room while asking directions.... |

If it is ground floor, I will ask Jurgen to put a sign saying "information" with an arrow pointing into your room. _________________ Mindy from Kansas City |

We got a one bedroom that is right next door to the one we had in Nov. So we are back in the "information booth" business again. LOL! We still laugh about that lady who walked right in since our patio door was open....what was she thinking....that our room looked like the front desk? LOL!
Had a nice relaxing beach day today. Got a palapa right in front and just read a book, had some Brights, lunch....we were boring today. It is very, very windy right now - more than usual - but feels good (hair is not happy though.)
Mike is on a quest for Diet Mt. Dew (his morning "coffee"). Usually have no problem finding it but have been to 3 stores now and they have only had regular Dew.
Going to hit the pool bar (Horizons) at Amsterdam Manor for happy hour in about 30 minutes and meet some friends there. After that....who knows? We really have not scheduled anything this time and just going to play it by ear. Think tomorrow night we might go to the Bugaloe to listen to the band. _________________ ~Amy~®

If you go to Bugaloo tomorrow, say hi to my very good friend Teddy. He plays the baseguitar in the Equator Band. |

Had another late night. It was a friend's birthday so waited for him to get done with work and then off to celebrate at the usual haunts.
Taking it easy today - relaxing by the pool and reading. They have new pool chairs here now that are really nice. I'm sitting in one at this very moment. Hard to see the computer screen out here though since it's so bright.
Had dinner at Tulip last night - new menu with a French/Caribbean flair to it. They redecorated, too. Loved the new menu and ambiance.
Still thinking about heading over to the Bugaloe for music tonight but need to get myself off this chair which is hard to do. LOL! Ingrid - I will say hello to your friend for you if we go tonight.
Weather has been great - still very windy but I'm not complaining. _________________ ~Amy~®
