Relaxing ....



We just returned from a week in Aruba. Nothing like 2 free airline tickets and picking the most exotic place that Jet Blue goes to from Portland, OR. Neither of us knew what to expect and all we wanted to do was: relax, read a book or two, swim, kayak, snorkel, and relax some more. Turns out, we did all that!

The water is so calm and salty that you float without trying. Most of our time was spent swimming and reading on the beach! We also kayaked for the first time and saw amazing fish when we snorkeled at a coral reef and the largest ship wreck in the Caribbean. It was a great vacation!

I'm so glad you had a good time! You didn't pick up a puppy on the way home, did you?

No puppy. But, iguanas are all over in Aruba. Dave was very interested in bringing one of them home. We just could find a way through customs with the little guy!

Great pictures and I'm also glad you had such a good time.
Just think, if you had gotten an iguana home we would have had to go through the name thing again.

And Iggy - and even Iggy Pop - would just be too obvious.

Aruba the Iguana isn't bad...

Glad you're home safely and glad you had a great time! Iguanas are nice, but did you see any weasels?

Oddly, no weasels ... but there were dingies!
