I went for this also,but it`s not part of Netherlands anymore so left it with just Aruba at end,i tried writing southern Caribbean etc but it would not allow as many words

yes it is, it's a state within the Netherlands but is no longer part of The Netherlands Antilles (which will be disbanded on October 10, 2010, and the other islands will then have the same status as Aruba)

So, that's why I'm convinced it is enough to write Aruba

Having been to aruba

I concur with other posters that this is Aruba. Having been there, it looked a lot like island in at least one picture. I didnt know that it had 2 kinds of birds there though but did know the make up of the island.

IF it is somewhere else, it would amaze me but then again Curacao and Bonaire are right next to it and part of the island chain as well.

There's no IF about it. Compare the lighthouses in the ABCs.

Same for me.
My guess is that since the 4th day of this weeks promotion is over, they probably take down the site so people don't continue to try and play until Next Tuesday.
I think they probably should put up something to explain that better than a black screen, but that is just my opinion.

+1. Its kinda annoying to not have any indication that you can't click on anything but the rules.

I doubt tehy would use Curacao or Bonaire since I dont think they have a presence on either.
I personally would only guess locations where they have a property, but will have to wait to see if that is true

Uhh, and what's the point of doing that when they are trying to promote their "Anywhere" offering?

I guess I am not able to enter my answer for this week. The typing box is blocked off and the "submit" button is shaded out. I'll wait to try next week.
