Hi CUTO918~ Just my 2 cents......but I wouldn't miss the Natural Bridge,& beautiful scenery on the way there, High Rise area, specifically Hyatt casino..lol, Charlies Bar is fun, but not a must, wouldn't bother with baby beach (& it was first on my list prior to my actual visit)Crystal Casino, Eagle Beach. Navagating the island is quite easy on your own. You'll have tons of comments on restaurants.....or go to aruba forums for details. Have fun...Can't wait to go back!

Find the Natural Pool! It's an adventure you won't forget, and you'll need a 4X4 rental vehicle.

(Don't go with a tour -- the Nat'l Pool is very small, and getting there is half the fun.)

There is SO much to do on Aruba. Some of the thing we did include:
-parasailing
-catamaran snorkel trip to shipwreck
-pirate ship sunset sail/dinner(fun)
-Deepeep sea fishing
-submarine trip
-island tour including bridge and snorkeling a baby beach(v. nice)
-Palm beach--awesome
-shopping, casinos, bars(there is a party bus, but we did not take it)
-GO to El Gaucho for dinner--this is not to be missed!!(write this down!)

We have been to over a dozen Caribbean islands and Aruba is still at the top of our list as best all-around island.

Have a great time!!
