Iguana Go Back To Aruba!
January 24, 2009
In my ongoing quest to explore the world beyond my cubicle, this time I find myself in Aruba. Well, not actually in Aruba but vicariously vacationing there through the descriptions of two of my managers. These two lovely ladies recently spent four sun-soaked days in Aruba and came back to report their findings. Just as I had suspected, Aruba turned out to be awesome and I turned out to be jealous.
The thing that sets blog apart from others is that I actually have been to Aruba. Yes, I was with my family and yes, I was only 15- but so what? I’ve been there and that’s what counts. Even all these years later, I can remember how the crystal clear water was set ablaze with colorful tropical fish swimming around. All these exotic species I had only seen on Animal Planet were just hanging out as I waded in the water. The flood of wild iguanas sunning their bellies mid-morning was also a sight to see. I even had a flashback to my cousin Ilana and I going horseback riding on the beach for the first time. We also took a sunset cruise, but mostly we just spent long afternoons lazing under the warm sun. To this day, it is probably the best Caribbean vacation I’ve had to date.
So, as you can imagine, hearing that Aruba is just as beautiful as ever made me reminisce and want to go online and book a getaway immediately. The Managers told me all about the gentle yet constant trade wind breezes which keep the island’s temperature comfortable all year long. They told me about the multicultural patchwork of diverse ancestry which describes the local culture. They even told me about the bustling night life, superb shopping, cool architecture and the affordability of local restaurants. But none of that matters to me…. I just want to feel like I am swimming in a really expensive fish tank again.
On a Caribbean island like Aruba where hospitality and friendliness are tantamount to natural beauty, it’s easy to understand why people choose this destination time and time again. One of my managers mentioned that she had been to Aruba several times before this trip for weekend girl’s getaways. She regaled me with a wild tale of amazing Cuban food and live music at Mr. Jazz (along with the island’s best Mojito) followed by late night dancing at Soprano’s. It made me want to plan a little escape with my best girlfriends too, but I can appreciate that Aruba would also make a great romantic destination for couples. Either way, I’m definitely going back one day.
