LUST LIST - Day 9 - June 1, 2012
ARUBA
To celebrate the weekend and the fact I'm working tomorrow, I'm goin' to the islands! I have never been to the Caribbean before, and Aruba is real high on the list. The white sand beaches, warm turquoise waters... give me a hammock and a cocktail and I'm a happy camper!
Aruba is pretty self-explanatory. With constant year-round temps of about 81degrees, its a flat, river-less island that lays outside the hurricane belt in the Southern Caribbean. One of the best things to do here is lay out under a hut on one of the many warm beaches, some beaches have water that gets no deeper than 5 feet deep, perfect for a day of wading (or rolling around like a beached whale). The island has very clean water so they recommend you drink plenty in-between all the rum punches you're bound to consume.
Speaking of consumption, straight off the most popular Eagle Beach, you can walk into a beach bar for happy hour without ever changing. However, most restaurants in Aruba have a no jeans policy. Another way to bar hop is on the Kukoo Kunuku - a 40-person bus that will be your bar-hopping sober driver (Genius!). There are also plenty of places to purchase rum to take home with you, or drink before you even leave. By the way, every Tuesday night there is the Bon Bini Festival, a weekly festival of food, local music, and drinks in Oranjestad.
Besides tourism, off-shore banking and oil refining are top economy boosters. Buy some dutch Gouda cheese, find a rich friend and party the night away. Loves~
