Aruba!

DH and I are headed to Aruba in week. We mostly want to relax as it's been a long, busy year since we had our last vacation! However - we are not the types to visit the same place twice so this may be our first and only stay in Aruba. What one or two things would you say are a 'must' to-do while in Aruba. We're going to pick just a couple of activities for mid-week. TIA!

Re: Aruba!

the only two activities DH and I did on our honeymoon were a sunset snorkel on the Black Pearl and a 5.5 hr tour with ABC Tours and loved both ... we also took the bus downtown and went to the shops & restaurants by the hi-rise hotels but did no other "touring" ... it was great, we were so relaxed and definitely feel we didn't miss anything on the island ...

I loved the Mi Dushi, a snorkeling trip on a real sailboat. It was so awesome relaxing and sailing the Caribbean Sea on a sailboat and then jumping off the boat into a bunch of spots they brought you to.

Re: Aruba!

we go every year, love it there. This year we went skydiving, it was GORGEOUS! I highly recommend doing it there if you are into that type of craziness!
Butterfly farm is nice
ATV's
Beach is the place to be, all day, everyday!

Restaurants:
Gianni's - Best and only place we ever go for Italian... al imported from Italy, great gnocchi!
Madame Jeanette - delish!
Chalet Suisse - Great steaks, seafood, rack of lamb, etc. everything. something for everyone, always fantastic
Gasparito - local restaurant/art gallery. great food, very reasonable
