Given the change in employers and a distinct lack of funds, I really had not taken a vacation in a couple of years. Or even visited the beach. So it was time. I decided I'd just go down to Aruba for diving. I spent seven days, four of which were diving. To be honest, it wasn't the best diving I've ever done, but it was still very very good! This was also my first trip out with my new regulator and dive computer; both of which performed flawlessly.

As for Aruba itself, I did a little exploring by car, but that was about it for siteseeing. There were things that really struck me about Aruba that was different than many of the other islands I've been to:

1. The food is insanely expensive. I mean really expensive.
2. I've never been anywhere with such consistent trade winds. It was great.
3. It has the friendliest people, natives and tourists, that I have ever met.
4. Everyone speaks at least three languages and changes randomly between them (in the same sentence). It was surreal.
