Aruba! Aruba! Aruba!

After a perfect, yet chilly wedding in Boston, we flew directly to Aruba for our Honeymoon! Nothing we could have seen or read could have prepared us for the magical stay we experienced on that remarkable island! Our stay was at a private beach, where we rented a beachfront bungalow that opened-up footsteps from the sand. Relaxation seemed to be the theme of the vacation as we found ourselves sunbathing on the beach, near the pool, on our terrace or under the canopies. However, with so much to do on such a little island we felt as though we needed to take it all in.... and take it in we did! We went on a Off-Road Jeep Safari, which included stops to the Lighthouse, Abandoned Mine, Ostrich Farm, Natural Bridge, Bat Caves, secluded Baby Beach and Eastern Shoreline. We sailed in a Pirate Ship that took us Snorkeling and touring and we even tried-out the rope swing! We both went para sailing for the first time and we were sure to do some shopping as well. Our daily activities were concluded with one of our highlights of the Honeymoon... Aruban dining. The restaurants are all remarkable and we were sure to sample a variety of the establishments the island had to offer. We stayed busy doing a variety of things but in the end it seemed the islands laid-back feel became contagious. We just wanted to relax.
We won't soon forget that island and we long to return. It was a great way to start-off our adventure together!
