For today we received a lovely message from Kathy Enders from the US.
She wrote to us saying: “Aruba to me is Paradise. Jim & I first went there in 1990. We have never missed a year so in Feb it will be 34 yrs. The first year we took a free bus ride to town & realized we were on a time share bus. Jim said what do you think & I said we don’t have any plans so we sat thru the deal. After listening he purchased our Timeshare at the Seaport Village which was just being built. In 1991 we were in our room for the first time. No hot water, no TV yet, but we had the weather which is why we chose Aruba.
My husband had previously asked if I would like to try somewhere else for a change but my answer was definitely no.
When we got home the first year & told family what we did they thought we were nuts. In the USA no one heard of Aruba. One of my friends asked if you could drive there? Guess what! Now family & friends have timeshare.
This Feb will be a wedding for the second granddaughter to have chosen Aruba as their special place. We have sooo many good Aruban friends that we keep in touch with all year. Since we are now in our late 80’s I don’t know how many trips we will be able to go.
Aruba has the most friendly people ever. We were sitting outside of our timeshare, now called the Renaissance, when a lady taxi driver got out & asked if she could take our picture for us. Who does this? Not in the states for sure.”
Thank you for sending us this wonderful message sharing what Aruba means to you with us and our readers!
