Thanks For Your Info On Shells. I Won't Waste My Time Searching The Beaches In Aruba For Shells Instead I Will Enjoy The Beauty Of The Island. I Will Get Some Aloe Products As Gifts And For Myself -i, Too, Find It Helpful For Sensitive Skin Which I Also Have. Would Enjoy Meeting You Someplace, Sometime - Maybe In Aruba.:) :) :)

Sounds like a plan! ;) I recently had the pleasure of meeting another CC'r RevSmith from this forum at my hotel during her cruise stop.

Lorinda, did you try this link http://www.arubabound.com/photosmain.htm

 

Yes I did and it still doesn't work for me. I tried to cut and paste the site as well and that didn't work either, but thanks for your suggestion.

I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED YOUR PICS AND LINKS - WHAT A GREAT HELP YOU HAVE BEEN. IT MAKES THE TRIP SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. STILL HAVE NOT DECIDED ON A BEACH IN ARUBA BUT PALM BEACH APPEARS TO BE THE MOST POPULAR.:confused: I HAVE NOT READ MANY THREADS ON FOLKS GOING ON THE CORAL PRINCESS 2-25???? THE PANAMA CANAL SOUNDS VERY HOT - I AM FAIR AND BURN EASY SO HAVE TO WEAR TONS OF SUNSCREEN WHICH IS A PAIN - ALSO A HUGE HAT.:( :( I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CANAL AND ALL THE INTERESTING PORTS. ARUBA APPEARS TO BE THE BEST FOR A BEAUTIFUL BEACH WHICH I PLAN TO SPEND MOST OF THE TIME AT ONE. WHAT A NEAT EXPERIENCE MEETING A CC IN YOUR HOTEL. IT WAS 11 DEGREES THIS AM WHEN I WENT TO WORK.:eek: WHERE DO YOU LIVE???

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to know when you are appreciated.

 

I live about 1 hour north of downtown Atlanta, just at the start of the North Georgia mountains. I have lived here for 7 years and we have seen more wintry precipitation in the last 10 days than we have seen in 7 years, with more on the way tonight. :rolleyes: :( Our lowest temperature this week was 12 degrees. Our average daytime temps should be in the low 50's and we have been lucky to get out of the 30's.

 

The Panama Canal, if you have not seen it already is truly a wonder of the world. Panama is a beautiful country unto itself. I hope you enjoy your entire cruise, and just keep slathering on that sunscreen! ;) :)
