Aruba Vacation – One Happy Island!

Aruba is my favorite island to visit each year. Here you can relax, sun, swim and eat delicious food! What more could you ask for?

This is the perfect vacation spot if you are looking for a warm, sunny place to rest, relax and read and soak up the sun and warm water that is out of the hurricane belt. Weather is always 80’s to 90’s and sunny, warm and windy. Water is cool when you first go in but refreshing and soon feels like a comfortable bath that you never want to leave. Ahh! We love it and spend hours every day in the water.

I hope to soak up as much as I can before going back home. Ahh! I plan on reading many books too that I will be reviewing for your reading pleasure for the months of October and November.

Here are a couple of photos as we flew in.

This is just the first week we are here. At this rate if I take a photo or every night’s meal I will be busy for three weeks. Hope you enjoyed a snippet of what Aruba is like. Hope you get to visit this lovely little island. It really is One Happy Island! Who wouldn’t be happy here?

My first day here I got a sunburn on my arms even though I had sprayed and creamed well. We are in the water so long each day that the sunscreen washes off. From now on I have to leave the water and reapply more sunscreen. I forgot how much closer we are to the Equator and how damaging the sun can be.

I promise not to bore you with every night but I will post some more photos of the ocean and of course sunsets and food.

Thanks for stopping by to read my post and enjoy my photos. I appreciate your kind support. Watch for more posts coming about Aruba.
