Vacation Highlights

(this is what our time share is going to look like..they are just starting construction now)


Do you really want to hear ALL about my vacation? No..I didn't think so. I'll give you some bullets....

Aruba is in a constant state of summer. It is around 88 degrees and sunny..ALLTHETIME...and windy. You can get sunburt looking out the window.

We stayed a couple days at Tropical Haven then moved to the Marriott. At Tropical Haven J and I met John and Paula from NY..they will be our friends forever.

We purchased a Time Share at The Aruban. 1 week set every other year and 3 floating weeks for wherever in the world..for life.

We ate the BEST food everyday, I ate enough seafood for good health for at least a decade.

We went snorkeling where I fell on the boat..nice bruise. Horeback riding was OK..my horses name was Barney..he was the horse for the kids..that worked out well.

We rented a Jeep and did tons of exploring. We actually went w/ John and Paula to an abandoned well searching for Natalee..John actually emailed Nancy Grace wondering if anyone else looked there...I have pictures..we didn't find her.

There was a 2 point Earthquake while we were on the island but we didn't know it...we were eating lunch in San Nicolas at Charlie's Bar...I have pictures..

I read 3 books and watched some TV and relaxed...I won and lost in the casinos. I missed my bloggy friends very much and am so greatful for the huge ass party you had while I was gone.

OK..back to catching up. You want anymore details you are going to have to ask..

Day One Sunset

OK..this is the last one for the night..this is the calm side of the island that faces West..duh..it is calm and there are no waves at all..except when there is an earthquake at sea..but that's another story. (ps..this is straight out of the camera..Pioneer woman would be proud)

Can you say WOW?

Me..first day in the $100 shorts

It's 1:22am and I should be in bed but I'm playing with my pictures..this was the first day after we purchased those shorts and rented the jeep. We drove up to the north part of the island. You can't swim here..there are all rocks under the surf...

Just To Make Sure You All See This

MP left a comment on Pumpkin's "Hello" post:

hi kids...just booked our snorkle trip and a horseback riding trip..j talked me into it again..it's always sunny here but believe it or not i'm sunburt...look up The Aruban..that is where our place for next year will be..I can't wait to read everything you guys have been posting..thanks for chiming in today pumpkin!!

FYI: MP, I think you can probably email blog entries to here from your phone.

EDIT: OMFG. I just looked up "The Aruban." I should be more excited that this is where we're all stayin' next year ;) but right now, it's just making me ache.

This Just In...

Quick! Need to establish an intervention for MP when she gets back from Aruba!

Grandy got an email from her tonight. I'll have to read it to you like a telegram, in order for it to make sense. Seriously...what's the drink of choice in Aruba? ALL OF THEM??

We got our luggage the next day (STOP!)

We bought a time share (STOP IT!)

We're crazy (DUH!) (STOP!)

I have tons of great pictures (STOP!)

We have done more in three days than we did in a
week last year (Timeshare?) (STOP!)

Biddy...you get the glasses...Melissa's got the snacks covered...Everyone else, meet us in the living room. We have to plan this intervention together!

A time share? This I gotta see!!!!
