Question
Why is it that middle aged men insist on walking around on the beach wearing little Speedo bathing suits that are clearly made only for teenage boys who are swimming in the Olympics???
 Anyway, I'm here, I'm SO loving it! I'm working on the drink list for everyone, I've had my first Aruba Ariba, Blue Martini, Balashi, and I can't remember what else. I'll get to everyone's drinks by the time I leave, I promise. I LOVE ARUBA. I love the Ren Marina. I love my room overlooking the pool and marina. I love Ren Island. I love the speedboat to the island. I love the flamingoes and the iguanas. I love Flag Day (went to the festival yesterday afternoon after I arrived). I love the Blue Bar!! I took it easy in the sun, did not burn my first day out, yay me! Yet, I think I'm noticeably more tan than I was this morning! Quick small world story: this morning on the boat to Ren Island I met two women who live only one county away from me in Maryland. They're lots of fun and they're going on the Kukoo Kunuku bus tonight with me. I can't wait, I've been looking forward to that. Tomorrow's the jeep tour in the morning and more Ren Island in the afternoon. Then Friday's the Tranquilo all day, I'm so stoked! Anyway, just wanted to check in with you guys, let you know I'm here. Have to run to do some power shopping before the party bus!!

Brave soul you are going on the party bus tonight, and the tour tomorrow morning!! Yep, those guys think they have a super duper package, huh??? I still look, and more times then not start laughing or shaking my head! This last time a man who sure as heck shouldn't have been wearing a speedo, caught me doing it.... and, winked at me. lol Glad you're loving Aruba!!! Enjoy!!!

Re: Question
Ahhh those "speedo's". There is an old man that stays where I stay both in Dec. and Feb. and he wears a different one every single day. He walks about 20 paces in front of his wife so he can "strut his stuff," (which he does not have anymore), not sure he ever did. An older lady I know from the resort once told me that he had been going there for years and "always" wears those speedo suits and she once asked him why he wore them and he said, "If you've got it flaunt it" and she told him, "You've lost it". Oh my gosh, I laugh every single day when I see him walking through the pool area to make his way to the beach, then around noon, he walks back for his lunch, then around 1:00 he is off again to the beach. It is sooo darn funny and everyone laughs.
So Robin, am so happy you are falling love with Aruba. You thinking maybe you will go another time? Thanks for have a Balashi for me.

Re: Question
Far be it from me to ever say, "I told you so" but I told you so (not the part about the men in speedos). Aruba has a way of enchanting people.

Re: Question
For the record, "Speedo" is a brand name, and includes a host of products (even baggy boardshorts [or "bathing burkahs" as my wife calls them]) though, like "Kleenex" or "Windsurfer" (or even "Hobiecat") it has come to mean a particular style that is also made by a host of other comapnies.
Just being pedantic. Sorry

Re: Question
Robin,
About the"Speedos" i totally agree. To the rest you write about it sound like you are as hooked on this lovely little island as the rest of us Arubalovers. Thank you for all the yummi drinks you are having. I have 153 days until i can get all that Aruba gives to me when i get there in dec. It was fun reading. Looking forward to the next report. Hugs to you Tina from Sweden
