Since I'm getting ready to do another trip, I figured I should post this one first.

 

Aruba is a tiny island. Only 20 miles long and 6 miles across at its widest point,

it's slightly larger than Washington, D.C. It's the westernmost of the Dutch ABC

islands Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao.

 

Aruba is dry and sunny with constant cooling trade winds and an average year-round

temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit or 27 degrees Celsius.

 

The southern, leeward side of the island is famous for its long stretches of powdery

white sand beach, while the northern coast features a rugged and dramatic

landscape and secluded coves ideal for swimming.

 

Let the tour begin....

 

 

Flying in...one of the hurricanes slightly visible way off in the distance.

This picture doesn't really do it any justice. These sand bars were out in the middle

oh nowhere, surrounded by nothing but the Carribbean Sea.

one of the hotels had its own private island. this boat would drive in through a tunnel and take you to it.

Goddamn duder, awesome AWESOME images there. That hotel with the island (was it a Sonesta?) was precisely where I stayed when I went there (I was 16). I had frozen drinks and cuban cigars all day in it, while I threw things at iguanas and watched all the topless honeymooning brides. Then I hooked up with a cute Dutch girl who ended up being way too young for anybody's good. Nice memories, I can tell you had a great time!

That's an amazing shot and I'd like a highrez version if that's cool.

 

 

........and that's not the two of you is it?

I'm guessing you took the photo, but it's nice to think that.
