The last few weeks I have been fortunate enough to not have to be away from home so much. But that also means that business is bad this quarter. No big surprise and I am just lucky to still be employed. Since we had the down time, my husband and I decided to go on vacation. The summer getaways are always sunny and at some beach. This year, we headed down to Aruba for the week. We had never been there before and let me say I will be going back. The beaches were with soft sands and clean. The island is so much cleaner than most places we have been and the people are so welcoming.
As for things to do, the choices are endless. Since we are Harley people, we decided to take a motorcycle tour around the island. This was 4 wheelers that we drove on and mostly off road to see the tourist sites like the Natural Bridge and the Natural Pool. We could ride 2 per bike so I sat in the back and took loads of pictures as my husband tried his best to hit top speed since they did not care what we did on the streets. I just held on.
Besides the island tours, Aruba has tons of opportunities for snorkeling and diving. I am not much for open waters, but we did out to the German merchant ship site Anguilla that sank during WWII. It is a big draw around there for diving. The island has also bought old airplanes and ships that have been sunk all around the coastline for diving and the water is so clear.
The week was up way too fast and we returned home only to be welcomed by the rains. Looking forward to the next Aruba romp.
