The fiancé and I are planning our honey moon to Aruba. I was wondering if anyone has ever been there and what are some great ideas to do?

Not to get kidnapped.

Thats about the 10th person who's told me that lol at least that d-bag is in jail.

My wife and I went for our honeymoon. I've gotta run but I can give you a list of things that we enjoyed later tonight or tomorrow. It's a great island to visit.

Been there. It rocks. I gave Justin pointers for his trip.

Thanks it would be greatly appreciated!

I'll be in touch tomorrow, if Justin doesn't beat me to the punch.

I've never been there, but my girlfriend went...I miss her.

Maybe that is God's way of telling you that you shouldn't date high school girls?

Same here. It flat out kicked ass.

Vistied on a cruise so not as much time as some of the others. It was awesome though. We went on a Jeep tour and went into some caves along the coast, and then drove over to a light house. The island was great though, and like others said, as long as you don't get wasted and go home drunk with some natives it seemed pretty safe.

I've got the email of one of the taxi drivers on the island. If you do a search of Aruba on travel sites you will almost always see people talking about "Bully". We thought what the hell and emailed him to set up a time to pick us up at the airport. We got off the plane and the dude was waiting for us. On the way to our hotel we were chatting and he found out we had never been to Aruba. All of a sudden he pulls into a small grocery store and comes out with 4 cans of Balashi beer (brewer on the island) for us to drink the rest of the way. All taxi rates are set for the island, as well, so any taxi from the airport should be the same to where you are going. We've heard you kinda have to watch out to make sure drivers are tacking on a little extra. Anyway, if you want this guys email I can PM it to you.



One other thing that I can remember at the moment that is a must is one of the booze/snorkeling cruises. We went with the Jolly Pirate and it was an awesome time. The boat you out a ways off the beach and stop at three different spots for snorkeling and on the last stop they have a rope swing off the boat. The entire time there is free booze. Highly, highly recommended.




I'll try and think of some of the better restaurants we went to and let you know.
