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?
