Aruba

So the highlight of the trip was going to Aruba. Again though, we had so little time there. :(

Our first stop was at the LaPointe Family jewlery store - Kays - for some well deserved bling (pictured later). Our friends from Seattle came with us and we bargained hard. Then we were off to the beach. We went up by the Hyatt because the travel agent on the ship had said that's where all the action on the island is located. Really though we wanted quiet beach. Instead we found ourselves plowing through a crowd of people, fighting for chairs that we later had to give up, and parking ourselves down in a very densely packed patch of sand. Nothing a little alcohol and sun couldn't fix though. :)
