Jane<BR>It is not a good idea to include, in the same post where you preach people to be tolerant of one another, a total lack of tolerance to all Americans!!

Well said Frank and Anon.

<BR><BR>You guys keep on bashing Aruba and leave it for those who really love it. AMEN! <BR><BR>I oppose island bashing, as I believe every island can be a great experience, it is you the traveler that has to make the best out of it. Jamaica, Aruba, St. Thomas, Barbados, Cayman Islands are all bashed who is next? Woh no wonder the Caribbean islanders are much friendlier towards Europeans and Canadians.

imabeliever<BR>"Kicks butt" "Aruba Rocks"....Oh my God<BR>You've got to be some kind of mullet wearing 25 year old retard who thinks $2000.00 makes a great vacation. I'm glad I don't see you on my vacations or I would feel like I got "dogged". Who cares what you like or where you go as long as it's not where I am.<BR>I think you drank the water and crapped your BRAINS out.

My fellow Americans just don't appreciate nothing. All you do is complain and use uncle Sam $$$$$$ as an excuse to have people serve you. Why do you think hospitality in the Caribbean towards Americans is on the decline? Sometimes you wonder why the World is so against America, the answers are obvious and visible.

Just because Americans work harder and make more money than other countires is no reason to bash Americans! After all we are a mix of THE ENTIRE WORLD! So by bashing us you are really bashing yourself..If it was not for the Americans most countries would be walking the Goose Step and eating Weinerschnitzel for breakfast. So if we go on vacation and like to spend money well....someone has to, it keeps people like you in a job.

By the way, Dave, I wasn't even the one who mentioned anything about people drowning in the Cayman Islands or crime there at all. In fact, what I said was it was a close second to Aruba in my book. How did a simple post of my humble opinion turn in to something so nasty? I've never been so verbally bashed in my life. I can assure that I will not be returning to this board anytime soon.
