For today we received a lovely message from Bruno and Eileen Santini with daughter Danielle, granddaughter Kaia and friends Elisa and Jazmin from New York and California, USA.
They wrote to us saying: “Aruba to us is about friendship. It is building caring relationships between people we meet by mutual affection, trust and sharing experiences. Enjoying time together and having respect for our friends, giving support for their needs and desires. Coming to Aruba for 22 years we have been blessed to bring our children, family, and friends to share in our time on Aruba.
We have met people from all different walks of life. They are visiting Aruba for the same reasons as us. The sun, the beaches and all the wonderful attractions and all the great things to do. Through the years, our friendships have grown in depth, we know who they are and who their family is. We know their children and grandchildren. It’s a wonderful experience. Everyone looks forward to coming to Aruba. It’s the highlight of their year, greeting old friends warms our hearts. Everyone is filled with excitement for our new adventures to begin.
The first time we came to Aruba was in 1974. We found Aruba by going to the library and reading about the island. It sounded wonderful; little did we know what it held for us in the future.
All of Aruba is one happy island full of loving, caring, and friendly people. It is true. Whether you’re renting a car, shopping for souvenirs, going on a tour, shopping for food or if you need urgent care. All the people on this island are authentic, friendly, kind, and helpful. Aruba has become the gem of the Caribbean.”
Thank you for sending us this wonderful message sharing what Aruba means to you with us and our readers!
