Traveling To Aruba

(FJJ) After weeks of anticipation we departed for Aruba, for the Jaquisih's that means driving to NY to meet up with the Allen's and Kitchin's and then a 2 hour drive to Albany....then a flight to Charlotte and on to Aruba... 

We had good flights except for a roller coaster ride when we descended into Aruba...if we were not belted in there would have been some lumps on our heads, but the pilot greased the landing. .We met up with the Texans at the Aruba airport, we could not have timed it any better. Looking at the transportation situation we decided to rent a van, the man assured us it would hold 12 people....maybe little Arubians...well we packed in the 10 of us and all our gear..but we should get some foot note in the Guiness book....

 We arrived at our villa around 5:30PM, we sent a party to the store and left some to get us settled into the villa, it is right across the street from the ocean, very nice. The weather was rainy...yes rainy..but we did catch a decent sunset

After we had takeout pizza for dinner, we were entertained by Mike nad Tom, not just the music but some pretty funny impersonations by these two...I am sure our ribs are going to be sore by the time this is over.

.Today we will likely explore the island and figure out how we want to spend the rest of the week.
