We arrived in Aruba on Father’s Day via American Airlines on the red-eye from LAX – Miami – Aruba and arrived in the afternoon, unpacked and took our traditional dive into the Carribean at Sunset. We then met up with our annual Aruba friends, The Cooks at one of our favorite restaurants, Simply Fish at the Marriott. The beach dining allows for a swim, rinse in the shower, throw on a wrap and enjoy a fine-dining experience on the sand. It’s also a favorite for the kids…when they are finished and you are still enjoying your dinner, they can play on the beach in sight. The best of all worlds come together on this evening experience. The Chilean Sea Bass with Papaya cous-cous and grilled vegetables is a must!Day Two – Morning walk on the beach and swim in the ocean. Meet with your personal concierge to arrange your week, then go shopping in downtown Oranjestad. Find souvenirs and be sure to make a stop at some of the jewelry stores (duty-free). We have found the 
jewelry to be approximately 20 – 30% less expensive with excellent quality. We had lunch at Iguana Joes http://www.iguanajoesaruba.com/, then did our grocery shopping for the next couple of weeks at Ling and Sons…the best place to get groceries at a reasonable rate rather than in the hotel markets. We finished off the day with a swim in the lazy river at our property, The Marriott Aruba Surf Club. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/auaac-marriotts-aruba-surf-club

Day Three – A run on the beach and swim in the warm Caribbean is the perfect start to the day! Enjoy a day at the pool and beach and for the adventuresome soul…give the inner tubing or banana boat a try. Enjoy mingling on the beach with people from all over the world. For a casual and excellent ambiance for dinner, walk down the beach to Azzurro http://www.azzurroaruba.com/ …the best pasta in town…try the spaghetti mixed in a natural bowl made of parmesean cheese…lit on fire the flavors are infused into the pasta with marinara sause…DELICIOUS!Day Four – Windsurfing....snorkeling…picnic on the beach…OK off to bed so I can get rested for this! I'll keep you posted on what else we have been up to soon!!
