Here’s a view of the beach in Aruba, which is a good place to thaw your bones.
Beautiful Beach in Aruba.
The water is warm, the sand soft, the sun bright. If you’re in a less hospitable climate, consider a visit. It will do you good! (I can recommend a few good books to read while you’re here!)
Back in August, I submitted a video to the Flights, Camera, Action contest sponsored by American Airlines. The objective was to talk about a trip that changed your business. Well, it was way back in 1994 that I took my first American Airlines flight to Aruba and that journey changed my business career in the most dramatic way. As it turns out, my video is a finalist in this competition and I humbly ask for your vote to make it a winner. Follow this link, watch my video (for Hawser Press) and VOTE. By voting, you’ll also be eligible for 25,000 frequent flier miles, which is a nice perk.

I hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your support and safe travels!
Stopped in for lunch at Fermin’s Bar BQ today. A friend recommended the joint, telling me the cook won the local bbq contest three years in a row. This place is easy to find, from the high-rise hotel area, take the road to the main intersection in Noord, then turn right and keep looking on your left. It’ll be easy to find because there’s usually plenty of cars there and a big sign. Here’s the video visit:
I enjoyed the ribs and chicken platter, which comes with two sides. My regular sides were the cole slaw and garlic mashed potatoes. I added the baked beans because baked beans always go with bbq. It’s a hearty meal and much better than the regular grilled ribs you find at so many places around Aruba. Also, the beer is ICE-COLD which helps tamp down the Aruban sun. Prices are local, the scene is local, and you’ll fit right in. Bring your friends for lunch and enjoy!

Will vi?
Early this morning, I exited the gym (after a good workout) and noticed this unusual auto parked in the lot.
Will vi as seen in Aruba.
Odd looking ride with the name, “Will vi.” Here’s a look at the name badge for confirmation:

On closer inspection, I see the correct name is WiLL Vi. It’s a right hand drive vehicle produced by Toyota as part of some marketing endeavors they tried back in the early 2000’s. Here’s one more look.
The WiLL Vi profile.
Dig that rear window style, eh? Anyway, keep your eyes open, you’ll be surprised the things you see out there. I just wonder how this car ended up in Aruba?
