Love Aruba

I was just in Aruba for the most magical get away. I met a few locals and they invited me to a party. My friends and I went and we got treated like VIP's. I just love how friendly the locals in Aruba are!

That's really cool, Ican. I love getting to know the locals as well. It's really the best way to truly get to know Aruba, or anywhere away from home for that matter.

Hanging out with locals is always great. What kind of party was it? Was it out at a club or at a house? Arubans really are incredibly friendly people, aren't they?

I am happy to hear of another Aruba addict! I think some of the most treasured memories come from that basic interaction with local people. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming in a genuine way. I'm not sure I could be that warm to a constant stream of visitors to my local area.

You are so right, Shanna. If I had to deal with people constantly passing through it would drive me crazy. I guess being friendly to tourists is a way of life for the people of Aruba and all islands.

Welcome, Ican So happy to hear that you had a good experience recently. I'm heading there this winter to get married and I am so excited!

I have never been to Aruba before. I went to a different island and I did not like how tourists were herded around. When I heard that Aruba was not like that I really wanted to go.
