Part 2:

05/2/06 20:03:06 katiemack: long ball all the way to Venezuela!
05/2/06 20:03:11 artsieang: lol
05/2/06 20:03:19 GrayFal: yes jeff, we lock-off and do a week in each half
05/2/06 20:03:27 artsieang: my husband will love it if he hits a longer ball
05/2/06 20:03:37 katiemack: watch out for cranky accountants who love to spend May there after tax season! LOL!
05/2/06 20:03:39 artsieang: thats what i'm gonna do this winter
05/2/06 20:03:43 ArubaOC: Did the miniature golf on the road next to the Harley Davidson Saloon place . Even that was tough in the wind since it is up on a hill...
05/2/06 20:03:48 GrayFal: and the 1BRs at surf are quite spaciuos,,,we had 4 people this year and it worked out fine
05/2/06 20:03:58 katiemack: that is good to know Pat
05/2/06 20:04:02 artsieang: what about the lock-out?
05/2/06 20:04:23 GrayFal: yes, our group golfed at divi and enjoyed it, also rented clubs
05/2/06 20:04:29 ArubaOC: I think the Ocean Club 1 br is 10 square feet bigger! Who is counting anyway...All great stuff.
05/2/06 20:04:51 artsieang: ok
05/2/06 20:04:59 katiemack: how much time do you spend in a room anyway! not in Aruba! the beach calls!
05/2/06 20:05:20 artsieang: i just read today that there was a fifty pound limit on suitcases on delta
05/2/06 20:05:22 GrayFal: lock-off is 'standard' not big like some other Mars...comparable to ocean point
05/2/06 20:05:24 katiemack: have any of you done the romantic dinner at the Wyndham, on the shoreline?
05/2/06 20:05:36 ArubaOC: Lock out is like a hotel room with a double bed and couch and microwave/small fridge. No full kitchen. Yes, full bath, no Jacuzzi.
05/2/06 20:05:55 GrayFal: I found the OC 1BR smaller, that is why I mentioned it
05/2/06 20:05:58 katiemack: 50 pd is easy...one bikini, some sandals, a light dress or two,
05/2/06 20:06:09 artsieang: not for me
05/2/06 20:06:14 artsieang: i'm over the limit
05/2/06 20:06:21 katiemack: ugh!
05/2/06 20:06:22 artsieang: i have to re-pack
05/2/06 20:06:25 GrayFal: surf club has queen bed and double sofa bed
05/2/06 20:06:31 GrayFal: in L/O
05/2/06 20:06:36 artsieang: i pack so much stuff, its crazy
05/2/06 20:06:43 ArubaOC: Didn't do Wyndham but Marriott has an on the beach fish only evening restaurant. Dress up without shoes. Elegant sunset and different specialty fish each day (local I think)
05/2/06 20:06:50 artsieang: oh...thats nice
05/2/06 20:07:22 GrayFal: although i had the GOOD fortune of tradinginto Ocean Front at OC and that was a bigger unit,,,,but not the regular units
05/2/06 20:07:31 katiemack: I think Wyndham must be difficult to enjoy as the location is known to be very windy spot!
05/2/06 20:07:48 GrayFal: That is called "Simply Fish" at the Mar...alos verty nice
05/2/06 20:08:07 artsieang: i have reservations for every night, and some days
05/2/06 20:08:15 ArubaOC: If you're at the Marriott and don't mind doing laundry, no need for too much. I do not think I put on shoes for any evening even for nicest restaurant. Wore leather sandals which made me look like I was from Miami or similar place.
05/2/06 20:08:20 artsieang: i wanted to try all the reccomendations
05/2/06 20:08:22 GrayFal: you will be STUFFED ang
05/2/06 20:08:30 artsieang: i wil...lol
05/2/06 20:08:40 artsieang: we love to eat
05/2/06 20:08:43 katiemack: reason I asked about the Lighthouse, is that there have been reports of food poisoning up there...be sure to ask the concierge about it...many more people enjoy the Tierra del Sol restaurant, but we have not been there
05/2/06 20:08:43 GrayFal: say hello to filet mignon Gianni Versace at Madame Jeanattes
05/2/06 20:08:46 GrayFal: YUMMY
05/2/06 20:08:58 artsieang: food poisoning...oh know
05/2/06 20:09:06 artsieang: thats not good
05/2/06 20:09:16 artsieang: i will, pat
05/2/06 20:09:24 artsieang: should i cancel the lighthouse
05/2/06 20:09:29 ArubaOC: Tierra Del Sol outside on the porch was delightful. Excellent food all around and a nice sunset...
05/2/06 20:09:35 GrayFal: fronk enjoyed Faros at the lighthouse....Tierra del sol is good for lunch, dinner has had mixed reviews lately
05/2/06 20:09:50 artsieang: i did it for lunch
05/2/06 20:09:58 artsieang: i think by your rec.
05/2/06 20:10:00 katiemack: no, but be sure to do the research before going there....ask around...I think some folks have had terrible experiences there...Frank's is the exception as far as I know
05/2/06 20:10:05 ArubaOC: Thanks, Pat, yes "Simply Fish"...
05/2/06 20:10:08 GrayFal: beautiful views....u will enjoy
05/2/06 20:10:29 artsieang: maybe i will cancel
05/2/06 20:10:30 GrayFal: yes, that is right ang....

05/2/06 20:10:33 ArubaOC: Now I'm thinking I should use my August week...
05/2/06 20:10:53 katiemack: unfortunately, some restaurants are not consistent there...read the aruba bbs and go seek out reviews to get a current report
05/2/06 20:11:02 GrayFal: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - don't cancel Tiera del sol...maybe lighthouse
05/2/06 20:11:02 artsieang: ok
05/2/06 20:11:15 artsieang: i was talking about the lighthouse
05/2/06 20:11:19 GrayFal: yes jeff, go, what's not to like
05/2/06 20:11:24 artsieang: food poisoning?
05/2/06 20:11:29 ArubaOC: Agree with Pat-Tierra was our best food night last summer.
05/2/06 20:11:45 artsieang: i'm there for lunch, for i go for dinner
05/2/06 20:11:47 GrayFal: and I don't mean to ignore your exchange dilema but lets talk about that on the BBS

05/2/06 20:12:05 artsieang: ok
05/2/06 20:12:27 artsieang: i have so many things written down that i am going crazy trying to remember them

05/2/06 20:13:38 artsieang: when are u going?
05/2/06 20:13:53 ArubaOC: There's always the outside grills available at the Marriott. You can get high end stuff at Ling's and cook your own. Marriott desk people will even light it for you in the wind...We had an ocean front room which was only a few steps away from the grills.
05/2/06 20:13:54 tonyg: Actually ken will be copying it from the chat log
05/2/06 20:13:55 GrayFal: new years and the week after - 12/30-1/13

05/2/06 20:18:45 artsieang: ice cream...yea

05/2/06 20:20:09 GrayFal: yes, great fruit and veggies
05/2/06 20:20:11 katiemack: fruit is available, but as it is an island, not always as plentiful or fresh as one hopes
05/2/06 20:20:14 ArubaOC: Yes, fruit like in the USA and other things too. Bot cantalopes, watermelon, apples, etc. Prices like shopping in Manhattan NYC
05/2/06 20:20:20 artsieang: no, i'm still here

05/2/06 20:21:43 artsieang: i'm gonna give it a try
05/2/06 20:21:50 ArubaOC: Yeah butter from Holland. Only thing that was similar in price to home (that I can remember)...
05/2/06 20:21:53 GrayFal: CDM is a hidden gem in my opinion...those 2BR units are huge and the view is winderful from most units
05/2/06 20:22:00 artsieang: oh...lol
05/2/06 20:22:13 artsieang: i guess things are expensive there
05/2/06 20:22:14 iconnections: Pat, are those from the photos you posted earlier?
05/2/06 20:22:16 katiemack: i love the dutch butter!
05/2/06 20:22:33 GrayFal: kdor, we had discussed earlier abut the crowded beach - some feel it is and some don't
05/2/06 20:22:35 artsieang: i'll have to try some butter
05/2/06 20:22:49 katiemack: if you like yogurt and things, try looking for some of Holland's products...better prices and pretty good quality

05/2/06 20:23:47 artsieang: but i haven't been there yet
05/2/06 20:23:49 ArubaOC: I thiught the beach was "full" at various times. Palapas in the front rows are the only difficult thing about the beach. Maybe that will change with the new pool and removal of the boat dock adding more decent spots.
05/2/06 20:23:52 GrayFal: and wonderful liverwurst/pate
05/2/06 20:24:17 artsieang: thats something i can get for the room

05/2/06 20:34:33 tonyg: kdorward-You could call Jack Fletcher at Marriott 800-332-1333 (ext 6141-maybe)-he may have a resale.
05/2/06 20:34:47 katiemack: but Ventanas del Mar is the one at Tierra del Sol

05/2/06 21:09:37 tonyg: yes
05/2/06 21:10:28 tonyg: or maybe problems
05/2/06 21:10:35 Beaglemom3: The week before Easter everyone in Venezuela, Brazil and Columbia have the week off. Since Aruba is only 20 miles off the coast of Venezuela, I believe the whole country, en masse, heads to Aruba.
05/2/06 21:11:18 tonyg: Plus all the easter break folks from the US--crowded
05/2/06 21:12:31 Beaglemom3: I'm going to quote my Cabbie ( a native Aruban) he said that the Venezuelans could learn three phrases; please, thank you and excuse me. Not my words, but I was thinking the same thing while there.

Part 3:

05/2/06 21:14:45 Beaglemom3: No, he was wonderful. His brother is a police investigator on the Natalee case. He spoke four languages and has a son in the u.s. who is a lawyer.
05/2/06 21:15:21 tonyg: I thought that was what made you think of Boston

05/2/06 21:15:31 Beaglemom3: No, thunder, just hard, driven rain. The ballgame was canceled (luckily for the Yankees

)
05/2/06 21:15:49 Beaglemom3: OH, duh, I get it.
05/2/06 21:16:04 tonyg: Been rainy here all day too, but light stuff
05/2/06 21:16:13 iconnections: You are really a sports fan, aren't you? Nice weather here but not too warm yet.
05/2/06 21:16:32 iconnections: Great for walking during the day.
05/2/06 21:16:41 Beaglemom3: The game was rained out fortunately for "Juan Damone"
05/2/06 21:16:42 tonyg: we needed the rain
05/2/06 21:16:51 Beaglemom3: Yes, send rain.
05/2/06 21:17:03 Beaglemom3: I do enjoy the home teams.
05/2/06 21:17:10 iconnections: Yosemite is beautifully green this year.

05/2/06 21:17:25 iconnections: We never watch sports. MY BH not either.
05/2/06 21:18:05 Beaglemom3: You have to in Boston, it's required.
05/2/06 21:18:11 iconnections: No, but my friend came back yesterday and told me about it. Lots of wildflowers too and the waterfalls bursting out of their seams.

05/2/06 21:23:09 tonyg: nice nuff
05/2/06 21:23:16 iconnections: You travel a lot judging from your pictures.

05/2/06 21:23:20 chellej: Just saw something interesting on RCI - Cancellation insurance
05/2/06 21:23:33 chellej: $49 protects your trade power
05/2/06 21:24:04 iconnections: Everybody is bitching about RCI. What a company that is. They keep asking us to deposit our timeshares but no way Jose.
05/2/06 21:24:18 iconnections: More fees yet.
05/2/06 21:25:12 chellej: I guess if they can't get folks to buy travel insurance - they'll try something else
05/2/06 21:25:31 Beaglemom3: Personally, I'm not anti-RCI, just don't like them nearly as much as II .
05/2/06 21:26:00 tonyg: I'm with Beags
05/2/06 21:26:01 iconnections: I like request first from II.
05/2/06 21:26:08 Beaglemom3: I have an Allen House which I will never, ever deposit with them.
05/2/06 21:26:34 chellej: I'm trying to use other exchange companies too but for Island Park Village - I still get the most bang for my buck from RCI
05/2/06 21:26:35 iconnections: Beags, do you direct exchange or give them to SFX?
05/2/06 21:27:05 Beaglemom3: Yes, Request first is good in that you can still do an online search while waiting for your exchange request.
05/2/06 21:27:18 Marti Logs Out
05/2/06 21:27:50 Beaglemom3: I either use, trade it directly with friends (Pat/GrayFal and I just did our own exchange) and made the very, very bad mistake of renting it "SanDiego".
05/2/06 21:28:27 iconnections: I have never done anything on the website yet with RCI or II.
05/2/06 21:28:43 Beaglemom3: Oh, I just love "shopping" the II site.
05/2/06 21:28:57 chellej: online is the best part of RCI and II
05/2/06 21:28:58 iconnections: Renting it "San Diego"? What does that mean?
