I missed my blog buddies for the past week, but decided not to publicly say I was going to be out of the country for 8 days. We live in a rural part of the county and locked the doors for a week. A little Fun in the sun was needed after a tough New Hampshire Winter.Hope you enjoy a couple of pictures of our trip.

     Grass huts on the /beach at Costa Linda - Time share resort - Low rise area of Aruba.

    The snorkel boat...not bad, enough said.

    Tierra del Sol...Golf Resort over-looking the the Ocean.

    One of the Locals...Quiet -green and apparently likes American beer.

   Sunset in Aruba, you can see the California Light house in the background a really nice place for a cocktail and grilling out by the pool. Vonni and I had a great time and would recommend the Costa Linda Resort for sure.

Every since learning how the local politicians and police dealt with the Natalie Holloway case I have an extremely negative attitude towards Aruba and would never knowingly consider adding a penny to their economy.

Steve, My first Navy ship went to Aruba BEFORE I joined the crew.  The guys were raving about the place years later!  St. Croix is as close as I've gotten.  Looks like a beautiful place to just relax for a bit!

Hi Steve,

Glad you made it back safe and sound. From the photos, looks like you had a great time! We have a friend from central MA who built a retirement home in Paradera and has lived there for few years now. This house is now on the market and is the longest distance referral I have ever made. If you stop by my website and click the navigation tab at the top, "Paradise in Aruba" you can see some of the photos. There are definitely some beautiful places in Aruba. Loved Iguana Joe's!

Thanks All - we have friends on the golf course and have traveled most of the Caribbean over the years. Aruba has a lot to offer, the food and night-life was a blast.

Laura...I have hundreds of emails to look at - and two short sales to deal with, It's right back in to the grind.

                                       But we had a great time - and a beautiful Condo.

Judy...We all want to be social, but sometimes too much info is an invitation for a bad element to take advantage of your absence...so I usually don't say I'm away till I get back.

Steve, smart man to not make that know.  These days you never know who is reading your blog and what intentions they have.

But in the future how about a picture of something else on the beach except your feet ........... LOL

Welcome back!!!!!

What a beautiful place.  Can't say I've been there but will certainly ensure I change that before I'm dead and gone.

By the way, nice feet Loynd;)
