(un) Lucky Fish, Zeerover, Aruba

I stopped into Zeerover yesterday looking for some friends. In the well, I found some fish on the slab ready for the filet knife. Check them out:

In a matter of minutes, these fished were sliced into pieces. The crabs, pelicans, and one happy cat were feasting on the remnants. Of course, the crowd was thrilled, too. Doesn’t get any fresher than that. Enjoy your visit to Aruba, and check out places like this for a visit to the Caribbean as it always was, and still is.

Hyatt, Aruba, pool

The Hyatt in Aruba features a very nice swimming pool complex. That may be an understatement. Check out the view from above:

On a day like this one, being in the pool is one of the great pleasures of vacation life. There is a juice bar and a regular bar for refreshments and snacks, both only a few steps away. Hyatt does it well in Aruba.

A place to recharge!

Here’s another photo from one of my favorite spots in Aruba, DWI. It’s on the dock at Zeerover, a little fisherman’s wharf. You can have a snack, a beverage, and take in the view. Have a look:

As we say, on this side of the bridge, it’s still the Caribbean. Enjoy respectfully.

Homemade Airline Meal No. 1, video

Travelers like to complain about airline food, but rarely do they do anything about it. My suggestion: take your own. Stop in to your local “dollar” store and select a few containers that will work for the type of meals you like. They have to be small enough to fit in your carry-on luggage as well as to meet the security requirements. Easy enough. Here’s my most basic meal, one that has served me well for relatively short flights, up to about 2 hours. Check out the video:

Naturally, you can customize that to suit your tastes, or add other items in the accessory pack. Be creative! There’s no reason not to have something satisfying to eat. So, instead of whining about the chow, make your own and let the person next to you be jealous. I have several more of these videos on the way showing the different meals mentioned in this one. Enjoy the journey.
