Thanks, Jay February is a good time to be in Aruba to get away from the frigid north. Arubans are very friendly and more laid back. Things get done but not at such hectic pace we are used to. Being a small island, Aruba gets the trade wind all year round. Weather is consistently in the mid 80's. There is nearly no need for weather forcast. It is sunny almost everyday. The local language is Papiamento, a mixture of Spanish, English and Dutch. But English is spoken by most. Most of the local population knows all four. Water is from desalination. Most everything is imported. Gouda cheese is subsidized by the Netherlands government. This is probably the only item less expensive than the US. Get a wheel (about 9 lbs) when you come back to the US. You may get it in the supermarket or at the airport. You'll love Aruba and its people. |
