“As we sit here and wait to see if we will be able to
come on 6/27 and enjoy our vacation in Aruba this
makes me reflect back on our past visits. Our visits are
usually to come over and celebrate our wedding an-
niversary and my birthday.

The reflection is a period of peace and happiness we
find there. I remember I asked a waiter at the Hyatt
why he stayed in Aruba and not traveled and he told
me because it is one happy island. I couldn’t agree
more. I would love to have a home there but certainly
appreciate our visits and celebrating our anniversary
and birthday there. Aruba people are so nice and
friendly and the island is just a beautiful blue diamond
to us. It gives me peace, happiness and tranquility to
reflect on life.”
