Re: HM quote.... does this stink or rock???
that sounds pretty good....Aruba is expensive, but beautiful and totally worth it!!! I've been there 2x and it is awesome!! You must must must have dinner at the Flying Fishbone at sunset. All the tables are in the sand no more than 25 feet from the water!!! It is on the other side of the island...you need to take a cab there but it is amazing!!!

I stayed at the Hyatt which is incredible!! The grounds are gorgeous!!
I haven't eaten at gaucho's but heard it was great. Another great place is Le Dome whic is French/Belgian and the Sunset Grill at the Radisson...you are going to love Aruba!!!!!

That quote sounds about right, FH and i are staying at the Wyndham for 7 nights, we are paying more, but we are doing all inclusive with all meals and top shelf liquor, we are also doing a jr suite oceanfront. We are going in the middle of october...

Re: HM quote.... does this stink or rock???
Hey... If you go to the wyndham website they have this program called wyndham webrates... That is how I always book my trips... your hotel room is much cheeper but you need to pay everything on your CC upfront... and also you CANNOT get a refund... but I look at it this way... WHAT IS GOING TO PREVENT YOU FROM GOING ON YOUR HONEYMOON!!!!!
So I did some rates for you... This is for the hotel. I just did random nights right after your wedding... and this is for the room you described.
Saturday September 30, 2006 180.00 Sunday October 01, 2006 180.00 Monday October 02, 2006 180.00 Tuesday October 03, 2006 180.00 Wednesday October 04, 2006 180.00 Thursday October 05, 2006 180.00 Friday October 06, 2006 180.00 Sat October 07- Depart
Base Lodging Cost {excludes taxes and fees} 1,260.00
***For the nicer room its $1,386.00
As for Airfare...
Total price for this trip: $1,072.54 Average price per passenger: $536.27
Sat 30-Sep-06
New York (JFK) Depart 11:35 am Terminal 9 to Oranjestad (AUA) Arrive 4:00 pm 1,963 mi (3,159 km) Duration: 4hr 25mn AA Flight: 679
Sat 7-Oct-06
Oranjestad (AUA) Depart 5:25 pm to New York (JFK) Arrive 10:00 pm Terminal 9 1,963 mi (3,159 km) Duration: 4hr 35mn AA Flight: 796
So its less then $2500...
Its a little better!
I personally would do it yourself... I just planned my trip to Domincan Republic... for 2 ppl my FH and I are going ALL INCLUSIVE for 5 days for $1100 for the BOTH OF US!
AAA gave me a price of $1800 not including tax..
Good Luck!

Re: HM quote.... does this stink or rock???
i know the jr suite is bigger than a standard room, i am not sure what the other differences are though. Since we are going to be there for 7 nights, we thought the extra space was worth it. This is our blowout vacation so we are splurging on ourselves. Neither of us have the time or energy to plan it ourselves, so even though the travel agent is a little more expensive, we are lazy

Re: HM quote.... does this stink or rock???
8 nights is 9 days... b/c the departure day is the extra day but you are not staying that night.

Re: HM quote.... does this stink or rock???
prinses... thanks also for looking all that up for me.
my concern with doing it myself with no refunds is...even though aruba is out of the hurricane belt.. if ther eis a hurricane ...it may prevent our travels from ny TO aruba for a day or two and it would be nice to have travel insurance through a TA , no?
wow you got a great deal for you honeymoon!!! good work!!!
