Thanks for all the wonderful replies!

We stayed at the Holiday Inn. We did the all-inclusive thing so the meals and drinks (yes alcoholic too), room, and airfare were all in one lump sum. It was nice not having to carry cash around for every meal!

All of the hotels seem really nice. Aruba is awesome- the weather was high 80's- lower 90's but in Aruba there is always a breeze, so you never feel the heat. (that's how people get so burned, cause you can lay out in the sun all day and never really feel it burning you) The island trees, called divi-divi trees actually grow towards the direction the wind blows.

Here's a picture I found off a website:


The Tiger is named Tessa, she's about 13 years old. She used to be one of the Exxon tigers, now she lives in Aruba.

Yes, the kitties were so happy to see us back. Neko has been hanging all over us ever since!
