My fourth trip to Aruba was planned on a whim. I had decided to visit the ABC Islands of Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba. My last trip to Aruba was about 3 years ago and this trip I decided to do some new things I had never done before. Aruba is a decent sized island but […]
Long Layover in Curacao

Originally my trip to the ABC Islands was only supposed to be A and B. But when I was looking at flights between Bonaire and Aruba I saw that all flights went via Curacao. Not only that but the cost was the same no matter which flight you booked from Curacao to Aruba. So I […]
2 Days in Bonaire

Bonaire is the B in the Dutch ABC Islands that nobody knows about. Bonaire is mainly known as a dive and snorkeling island because of a lack of beaches plus excellent coral reefs and fish. Bonaire is not nearly as built up as neighboring Curacao or Aruba but that’s part of the charm. For me, […]

I was really excited to get back to Aruba for my third trip to the Dutch island. Aruba was actually the first Caribbean island that I visited back in 1999 with a group of 15 friends when we chartered a plane from nearby Margarita Island, Venezuela. That trip was so much fun and was matched […]

I found out Friday night at around 9:30pm that there was an air traffic controller strike set to begin at midnight last night, when my flight was scheduled for 4am. Needless to say, I was fairly nonplussed about the situation and had to scramble to check out of my hotel and get to the airport […]
Margarita Island, Venezuela

I spent the summer of 1999 living on Margarita Island in the Southern Caribbean. It was one of the best times of my life and I am much better off for my experiences. I learned to speak Spanish fluently, met a lot of great friends and just had a great time on this amazingly diverse […]
Bonbini! Aruba

Aruba is one of those places that people marvel about. It is a beautiful island that is everything an island is supposed to be. It has something for everyone to do and some of the best beaches you can imagine. I have been there twice and both times left wanting more. Palm Beach is the […]
