any ideas for some fun things aside from sitting on the beach, which I plan on doing lots of!

Re: Girls who went/are going to ARUBA
We went scuba diving (there are also snuba and snorkel cruises that look cool) and definitely do a Jeep tour! Those are sooo much fun, you either get your own Jeep or you share with a few ppl (if you share, it's a land rover I think) and you follow a guide in his own Jeep and you go all around the island! It's really fun!

Re: Girls who went/are going to ARUBA
I recommend eating at the local restaurants. I also took the local bus for .65 cents I believe and I went along the main route to the city for some shopping.
(They have a Louis Vuitton store where I think you can negotiate the prices! dont quote me though)

Re: Girls who went/are going to ARUBA
I'm going there this summer and I found so many great things I want to do. Here is everything I remember:
-Beach (obviously) -Jeep Tour which takes you to all the sightseeing type places -Hiking -Horseback Riding -Jet Skiing -Kayaking tour -Sunset Cruises -There are party buses which pick you up at your hotel and takes you to bars and then drives you home -Spa -Photo Shoot maybe -Snorkeling -Going into town to go shopping -They have a bowling alley and a drive-in movie theatre -4 wheeling (ATV-ing) -Water Park
There is a great aruba guide... it was only $10 at barnes and nobles you might be able to find it cheaper online... I think it was called Fodor's guide to Aruba. it was updated and informative!

Re: Girls who went/are going to ARUBA
We rented a Jeep and drove the north side of the island - in the desert area - I don't know if they let you do that anymore without a guide
Also contemplating renting a charter and doing some fishing - Its sailfish season in October

Haroula -
I've been looking into the fishing - have to look some more. Let me know if there's anything specific about fishing down there that Gianni wants to know.
And I forgot about the jet skiing - sorry.
There's also parasailing.

we took out a sailboat from the hotel and that was awesome bc they have a lot of trade winds there so you can get going pretty fast!

Re: Girls who went/are going to ARUBA
We've been to Aruba. You definitely need to eat at Madame Janette's, Flying Fishbone and SUnset Grille at The Radisson. They are so romantic *& delish!) Also, for a 'fun' night out the Kookoo Canoo Bus was an experience! lol ~ we got some laughs out of that.

Re: Girls who went/are going to ARUBA
Depending on where you are staying, there are casinos, restarunts, shopping, movie theatre, water sports, the brazillian restaurants there are ammmmmazing (food non stop). We stayed at the Renaissance Suites and there is a strip of fun things located by the hotels.
Oooo if you see a cruise ship in port that means the town and night life is hopping!!
