Jan 2020 for our honeymoon. We follower
fell in love! The perfect weather,
sand, beaches, and friendly
people really impressed us! We
also loved the Americanization,
island safety, easy bus transpor-
tation, music, bright colors, trade
winds, and diversity. We wanted
to come back as soon as we ar-
rived back home to Ohio.
In recent months, we weren't
sure what would happen. But
then we saw that our resort
was offering heavily discounted
rates. We jumped on that right
away. We are returning Jan

for sure is a great vacation memory to take home
with you.
For today’s newspaper we received this great pic-
ture and wonderful words from Scott L:
“In 2007, I had the opportunity to spend three
weeks in Aruba as a ‘real-bearded’ Santa Claus,
and that experience had a huge impact on both
my life and work. Since that time, I have been
working on trying to kick start a campaign that
would help redefine the image of Santa Claus
into a better tool to help sick kids. Have a look at

This was from a local newspaper in my area last
year, and explains more about the work I am try-
ing to do. I would love to ask a couple of ques-
tions:
- Could the island of Aruba benefit from a
campaign that had a portion of all sales using the
image of Santa go towards charity...?
- Does it make any difference that this cam-
paign is being started by a ‘Santa’ that got his
start in Aruba?
I was just a visitor for a short time in Aruba years
ago, but again, the impact it had on my life was
great. If you have any interest, I would love to
explain more.
Happy HO HO Holidays”q
