New Year In Aruba

December 2012 into January 2013 my family and I took a trip to my In-Laws Vacation house in Tierra Del Sol on the island of Aruba. It was an amazing vacation that a few pictures can not show. Because my husband had been to Aruba before and knew his was around the island well I did not feel the typical need to do much research. In the end it actually gives me less to talk about here. But I hope you enjoy the pictures and it possibly helps someone in planning.

Couples Swept Away September 2012

We Simply Got Swept Away

Couples Swept Away Jamaica

My husband and i both have in the past worked in the Travel industry. At the time of booking this I still was. So needless to say we are well aware of our honeymoon options. After mountains of research and a bit of soul searching I decided that Swept Away, my Husbands suggestion, was for us! Sun Dropping into the ocean, good service, 7 miles of beautiful white sand beach and great gym. The largest fitness complex in the Caribbean.

Getting off the plane we walked up to the lounge! Red Stripe it is!

The Transfer is about 45 minutes to the hotel. The driver happily stopped for us at this side of the road shack. My husband did not hesitate to sample the local food and it was good! Coconut to go and we were on our way!

Welcome to Swept away!

We arrived and sat with the front desk to find our room was not ready. We knew this would likely happen so we grabbed our swim suited and headed out to check out the resort.

Champagne? Yes I will thank you! Such a nice touch!
