For today we received a lovely message from Ron
and Maria Itri of Boston Massachusetts USA who are
shown arriving in Aruba in October of 1990.
They wrote to us saying: “Photo was taken at Aruba
Airport where they were greeted by Native Arubans
and presented with flowers as they disembarked from
the airliner which was traditional way of greeting
vacationers to Aruba during the 1990's.
Ron and Maria first came to Aruba on their honeymoon
in October of 1988 and loved the island so much that
they returned to celebrate their wedding anniversary
in October of 1989 when they purchased time sharing
at the luxurious Amsterdam Manor where construction
was nearly completed at the time.
We fell in love with the Island and his people and of
course the weather and the beautiful architecture and
location of Amsterdam Manor. And we have been
returning every year to celebrate our anniversary with
the exception of 2 years during the pandemic.We
consider Aruba our second home and hope to come
back for many more years to come if God Allows.”
Thank you for sending us this wonderful message
