A friend of mine recently got back from Aruba and raved
about his vacation there. In checking it out,
Recommend magazine has called it one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic
destinations. Aruba has been recently
ranked number two in the top 25 destination in the Caribbean by TripAdvisor
travellers. This small island which is 19.6 miles long and 6 miles wide is
located in the southern Caribbean Sea just off the coast of Venezuela. For the
traveller who is looking for more than white sandy beaches and beautiful blue turquoise
waters, it is an island of rich culture and tradition. Five reasons why you should
select Aruba for your next vacation:

by tourism, the local residents are friendly and welcome visitors with a
warm smile. The island’s motto is “One Happy Island”…

and is served by most Us scheduled
airlines. Canadians can choose from scheduled air, with connections,
through US carriers or select a Canadian charter operator with non-stop
service from Toronto. Aruba is located about 2 1/2 hours from Miami by air.
- Wide variety of
accommodations. Aruba has many luxury hotels with all the amenities as
well as smaller , more laid-back hotels and boutiques properties. Some of
