January 21, 2014 Tomato Charlie’s

After eating so many heavy, rich dinners, we decide to go casual one night. Tomato Charlie’s  is located on the main drag and serves excellent thin crust pizza. They have patio seating under umbrellas and covered seating inside the restaurant on the other side of the sidewalk. You can’t beat dinner for 2 for $22. […]

January 14, 2014 The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man and the Sea is located quite a distance from the high rise hotels (it is past the airport). To attract more patrons, they provide a one way ride to the restaurant from your hotel and you pay the taxi driver on the way home (around $30). We have a great taxi driver […]

January 13, 2014 Gelatissimo

After dinner at Ventanas del Mar, we went back to the hotel area and grabbed a gelato at Gelatissimo. Pay first at the back counter and then bring your receipt up to the gelato bar to place your order. The place feels more like a night club than a gelato store, grab some seats at […]

January 6, 2014 Ventanas del Mar at Tierra del Sol

When we picked Ventanas del Mar, we thought it was going to be like some of the places we went to in Cabo. It wasn’t. Tierra del Sol is a private gated community where you can buy or rent homes. When we arrive, it seems desolate- there is no one when we pull up to […]

January 2, 2014 Hyatt Sunday Brunch

We had heard from someone at dinner when we went to 2 Fools and a Bull that the Hyatt had warm donuts at brunch. Sold. We immediately made reservations. Turns out, that’s not true – no warm donuts to be found. They Hyatt has a great property, very picturesque. Ruinas del Mar over looks a […]

December 30, 2013 Designs by Maya

I wrote before about this great little shop that sells hand painted driftwood. Maja found my post and reached out. When we returned to Aruba this year, we wanted to meet her in person! These fish are new pieces! They were at a craft festival for the first few days we were on the island, […]

December 27, 2013 Aruba -2013

We decided to go to Aruba in the beginning of the month for a few days. We flew jetBlue direct from Logan, which now goes out of terminal E (I can’t tell you how many people were confused by this – check your gate before you check your bags!) We arrive, go through customs and […]

December 26, 2013 2 Fools and a Bull

We had heard about 2 Fools and a Bull from a friend. Make sure to make reservations as soon as you can, as they book quickly! We were lucky, we called the day of and were able to get in due to a last minute cancellation. We arrive promptly at 7pm – if your name […]

February 8, 2013 Aruba Souvenirs

Just wanted to share some fun souvenirs from our trip to Aruba. I can’t tell you the name of the woman we bought these from, but she rents space in a stall outside of the Baskin Robbins. I think she is super talented and she hand paints all the driftwood herself. The fun, bright colors […]

January 13, 2013 Aruba

   We haven’t been to Aruba at Christmas time in years, I think I forgot how busy it is with school vacation and all those who don’t celebrate Christmas. There were a lot of folks from the NY/NJ area and a lot of people from South America. Everywhere we went, they take US currency. When […]
