so i made it back from aruba monday morning. i'm pissed to be back; the place was phenomenal. a few people have asked me to describe the island so i figured instead of telling every person that asks i'll just write about it in a blog and any interested parties can read.
they have fucking wild iguanas. if that's not a reason why you'd want to go then you don't deserve to be there. also, the iguanas have the right of way on the road.
there is a constant 10 to 30 mph wind.
people drive what appears to be incredibly poor, except, i didn't see a single accident while i was there (they've had 5 traffic fatalities all year). also, never saw a speed limit sign, or a road sign that made much sense.
they have shipwrecks all around the island; one is a german WWII freighter.
the have quite a few casinos which i went to frequently; ohh and a ton of restaurants. they have fast food too but everything tastes a little different than here. and by different, it usually means better. except hooters, which royally sucked.
aruba is also home to the nicest people on earth. they all have sunny dispositions and can usually speak at least 3 languages. i only met two natives who didn't speak english. on my layover in miami, i met more than that.
i played golf 3 times on two different courses. i drank by pools, the ocean, in casinos, and by golf courses everyday, which is strange because if you know me i don't drink at all.
everything is a little pricey there but since they have to import most of it, you don't get upset.
its the best time i've ever had and when i move there you can visit.
