The beautiful Island of Aruba, as seen by myself and our family in early fall of 2000. Uncrowded beaches, breathtaking coastlines, great veiws, and best of all the friendly and cheerful Arubian people. Aruba is outside the hurricane belt, always has a breeze, and is as safe as your own backyard. We enjoyed our trip very much, and plan to return to what we saw as the perfect vacation spot.
