<\/a><\/p>\nAfter a leisure breakfast, I decided to walk the other way on the sidewalk… the path more traveled. I walked past many fine resort hotels, bars, & stores. As I walked I could hear some scurrying noises coming from the lush plants, bushes and flower beds along the path. I found a nice bar on the beach. No surprise here. It was named Gilligan’s. Of course, the S.S. Minnow was there too. On the back of the boat, was a phrase that is Aruba’s mantra, “One Happy Island.” No joke. The car license plates has this so it must be true! I think it became my mantra during my stay there.<\/p>\n
They had a sign post showing how far it was back to Houston, Texas. Now I am no navigator but I think someone needs to pull out a map and check their mileage of some of their signs.

I stopped at another beachside bar, got a bottle of water and did what everyone else was doing… people watch. Later that evening, we went to dinner at a very nice restaurant. I would say that I had one of the best meals there. Not only was it a great meal, the location was very unique. Have you ever eaten dinner while sitting in the ocean? It was called the Flying Fishbone<\/a>. Check out the website and look at the pictures. All outdoors and some of the tables in the water. Made for a memorable dinner. So in my last post I mentioned an ocean view room. Because all rooms on an island are ocean view, right?
