On September 22, 2002, we left BWI (with a layover in Philly) for Aruba. We spent a week in Aruba and toured the small island. It is off the coast of Venezuela. The temperature stays in the mid-80s to 90s year-round. The island itself is mostly desert, with the east side showing a lot of volcanic rock. We stayed at the Divi Village hotel. Kim's grandmother has that week for her time-share. That is the reason for our trip. Our room was very clean and the hotel itself appeared very well kept.

On Aruba, there are a lot of Iguanas and chameleons. Most of them only come up to you when you have food.
