ARUBA - Miller's Departure 

To cap off our FUN week with the Miller's, Bosco suggested we go to one of his favorite restaurants in Aruba, Faro Blanco (or the white lighthouse) at the north end of island. The meal was delicious, lots of homemade pasta and it seemed every table was celebrating somebody's birthday. Not to be left out, when I stepped out to use the restroom, the Miller's and Bosco plotted to celebrate my upcoming Birthday. So upon my return to the table, I was surprised by a flaming torch in a piece of cake with singing wait staff! A nice surprise! 

The next day Scott & Callie went with me to the Miller's hotel and beach club to hang out for our final afternoon together.  We swam, joked and soaked up the sun, telling all kinds of stories! Super relaxing!

Sheri caught this photo of our Ship right before it pulled out of Aruba port around 7 pm. The Miller's ended their vacation the next day after para sailing.

CURACAO - DAY 2
By Patricia Patrick May 4, 2025
Another fun day with the Miller's exploring Curacao! We started by exploring the bustling port and capital city of Willemstad . This is a Dutch Caribbean Island with a large Dutch community. Known for its old town center with pastel colored colonial architecture. The floating Queen Emma Bridge connects the Punda and Otrobanda neighborhoods. The old Rio Fort has been converted into a shopping center. After walking and exploring most of the morning, we taxied to KOKOMO BEACH to chill for the afternoon. It's a private beach club with a bar and restaurant and a nice calm swimming area and beach.
