For our Honeymoon, Kim and I went to the island paradise of Aruba. White sands, a warm breeze, relaxation, fun and all the rum you can consume :) After arriving on the "1" runway, and an hour of customs lines and baggage claims. We cabbed it to the Tamarijn resort. We got upgraded, for FREE, to the Divi Divi Resort, which allowed us to use all the restaurants, activities, etc at both resorts. We had a very nice room overlooking the ocean and one pool area. clicking on the resort logos will take you to their own pages for some added picture and information.

The resort is all-inclusive so we ate and drank to our fill. The nightly entertainment was fun with a limbo show, I was the judge ??? and other festival nights. The food was awesome, especially in some of the nicer restaurants. But for the most part, Kim and I relaxed and enjoyed ourselves with daily walks, bike rides, surf and sun.

One day we rented a jeep to explore the island. The map shown shown below displays the many things to visit. The whole eastern side of the island is a desert and rough treading, even for a jeep. I think it was one of the best times I had in my life, up, down over anything in our paths while exploring old caves, missionary churchs and just seeing sites like the natural bridge (picture above).

The Divi trees (Watapana) grow sideways because of the constant trade winds that blow, about 20 mphs, but warm. The St. Anna Catholic Church is one of the oldest churchs in the Carribean. It has a beautiful hand-carved oak altar.
