the great pleasure to honor one of Aruba’s
loyal and friendly visitors as a Distinguished

guests who visit Aruba 10 years and more
consecutively.

The honoree was Sandy Mayhew who has
been visiting the island 11 years consecu-
tively!

This wonderful lady stated that she loves the
island very much, especially for its safety,
the year-round sunny weather, nice sandy
beaches, the island’s beauty and Aruba’s
warm and friendly people.

Ms. Richardson together with the representa-
tives of the Divi Aruba Phoenix presented the
certificate to the honoree and also handed

choosing Aruba as her favorite vacation des-
tination and as her home away from home.q
