Upcoming Aruba Trip!!

I’m planning a trip to Aruba! YAY! I have never been there, but I’ve heard such great things about it. Recently, Aruba launched a brand new image through their “One Happy Island” campaign. It caught my attention pretty quickly.The commercials are everywhere, especially on my favorite channel (which just happens to be the Travel Channel). And usually, right after I see one of these commercials, I have clear blue water and white sand images stuck in my head.
There are so many beautiful hotels to choose from it’s hard to make a decision about where to stay. My brother offered me advice to skip the all inclusive resorts. His reasoning was that there are so many restaurants you’re not going to want to eat the same food for a week straight. In fact, he even said that if we get desperate, there are McDonalds, Wendy’s, and Pizza Hut chains in walking distance.
I always go on tripadvisor.com before booking anything. Not only can you read traveler reviews on hotels, restaurants and attractions, you can look at user-uploaded pictures. In the past few days, I’ve narrowed down my hotel choices to just a few based on what other people had to say, as well as beautiful or down-right-scary pictures they have uploaded.
I'm so excited, I can't wait to go! I’m planning on going in June, and until then I’ll keep on researching the Island.  :)
