Josephine and Michael are back in Aruba

ORANJESTAD - Twenty-
eight years ago, Michael
and Josephine flew to Aru-
ba on their honeymoon.

The couple from Long Is-
land, NY, is now back
again. In the meantime,
the business representative
and registered nurse have
been to their favorite island
8 times, often bringing their
children, who are now 24
and 20 years old.
Friends recommended
Moomba Beach to Michael
and Josephine (both 58)
and they loved the vibes,
the ocean view and the
drinks there. MooMba is lo-
cated between Hadicurari
Restaurant and the Holiday
Inn Resort. We hope you
have had a wonderful time
on the island.
And come back soon.q
