can anyone give info on a good
restaurant in aruba?, im looking for something outdoors with entertainment, to spend a saturday evening with husband and child

Try Trattoria de faro de Blanco. You can get outdoor seating. Also try Tango, an Argentinian steak house which has professional Tango dancers.

Madame Janette is awesome as is El gaucho...if you would type this question in the search area of this forum, you will gets lots of useful info!

I second Madame's Get on the aruba b&b they have a restaurant review there and alot of good info.. I love Aruba it is the best,where are you staying?

We're staying at the Allegro Occidental Aruba April 13-19
thanks!!!!!!

Have you heard of any day tours to venezuela, actually to Isla Margarita
from Aruba, is this even possible?

That may be hard. Flights from the US to Marg. have to go to Caracas first for customs/immigration. Actually I have heard from several sources that Caracas is not safe for tourists and Marg., by all accounts is not as nice as Aruba. Alternatively I think flights to Curacao and/or Bonaire would be pretty easy. Good luck, Larry
