Back in Aruba, and it is as beautiful as ever. First time I have been able to approach gradually from the sea, on a cruise ship. What a spectacular site. And Aruba is as busy as ever, no signs of a slowing ecconomy here.
Maybe a few more pictures later and hopefully some updates to my Chapter Thirteen.
My family, by the way, first time here, loved it!

Very few people ever speak about Curacao when they travel to this area, and "oh my goodness," at first glance and after a day it seems to be much more beautiful than Aruba and more of a cosmopolitan city for sure comparing Oranjestad and Willianstead. I will for sure be returning to Curacao again.

Hey Pooks, "yes," I had some great encounters with some amazing people in both Aruba and Curacao.

wow the water is so bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue!! I just love that color. It is like so of france. Is this your pix when playing tourista?
I've seen a number of House Hunters in Aruba and I can't believe how cheap a reasonable size beach house is with awesome views. It would be great to buy vacation home there.
I did note lots of wind. Does it cool off the heat or is it like wind in the desert?
Lemme know when you're taking me. I'm ready anytime after the end of this month!
p.s. My uncle pete, (who was not really an uncle but very close friend of the family) use to hang in curacao all the time when he was doing grain deals in Venezuela. He preferred to stay there and loved loved loved it!!! (maybe sumthin about chevaz was a put off!)

Lots of wind, bella but it cools you off and is pleasant except for the ladies hairdos.
Prices are expensive to some, depends on what you are looking for. but to have an opportunity to live in paradise, probably affordable. There is really nothing quite as lovely as Aruba. There is a reason it remains such a popular vacation place year after year.
