Aruba
 
In a week or so, we will be going to Aruba. I will be going with my wife and 9 yr old daughter. Besides the swimming and other water activities, I am interested in sightseeing and shopping? Can anyone comment on these latter activities?

I will be staying at a timeshare resort about 4 to 5 miles from the capital. I do not believe that the resort offers a shuttle service to/from the capital. Does one need to rent a car, or is it easy enough to use a taxi/local bus service - to go to the capital, and also to do sightseeing throughout the island?

There is a bus that runs the length of the island and back so transportation shouldn't be a problem. There is pretty much just one road that runs the length of the beach area and there aare bus stops all along the way and I believe at every resort. Try this site for all the info on Aruba you could ask for:

The members there are very helpful.
