Aruba

Upon arrival at the visitor's center at the Arikok National Park, we were encouraged we'd made a good decision to hike to Conchi. The reason: Stanson Tromp.

I had every intention of behaving myself. Travel with the wife engenders such restraint.

This is the last place where I can truly say I had zero real substantive cares.

Wish you were here this Holiday Season...?

Time out from adventuring around Aruba is best spent on Eagle Beach.

All throughout the day, sailors and jet-skiers parade atop these depths, hugging ever closer shore to shore in order to attract attention, customers.

I got short-changed on my run, though the experience proved priceless.

My latest Aruba escape to the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, the adults-only enclave set on expansive Eagle Beach, was my all-time favorite.
