Sick of snow?  I want to see the white sands of a little tropical Caribbean island called Aruba.

I had the luxury of going to Aruba in the early nineties and said someday I would love to go back.  Today, I need to call the travel agent and make those plans.

Right now in Aruba, Sunny skies and 86 degrees. A slight breeze coming off the island.  Perfect to find a lounge chair next to the crystal blue ocean, sippin on a Arubian tropical drink.

Maybe in a hour or so, I'll rent a jet ski or grab a snorkel to swim around the correl.  Perhaps tonight is the night for a dinner cruise around the island.   Afterwards sit outside at an outdoor bar and watch the weather back in the states and laugh!

 Aruba is a tropical paradise only 19 miles long and home to 89,000 people.  Its outside of the Hurricane loop, so its guaranteed to have nice weather 99.9 percent of the time.

I found this list of 10 things to do while in Aruba..  ah to dream.

1.Enjoy fruity umbrella drinks while relaxing on the beach.

2.Soothe your skin with Aruba's very own aloe vera.

3.Watch the windsurfers and kitesurfers at world-famous Fishermens Huts. If you're are up for the adrenaline rush, why not try it yourself?

4.Gain wisdom at one of Aruba's many museums.

5.Shop for deals on jewelry, cigars and local handicrafts.

6.Please your palate with some of the world's most delicious fare. Try cuisine from Cuba, Italy, The Netherlands, Argentina, and America all in just a few days.

7.Hang out with the whole family while deep sea fishing, playing mini-golf or mountain biking.

8.Test your luck at one, two or a dozen different casinos.

9.Rent an ATV and explore Aruba's desert landscape including many caves, goldmine ruins, a natural pool and a beautiful hilltop chapel with spectacular views.

10.View the sea life by scuba diving, snorkeling or a glass submarine tour

Who's ready to go??
