Originally founded by Dutch settlers, Aruba is a common destination for many travelers during the winter months, as temperatures on this tropical paradise rarely drop below 50 degrees Farenheit! Great shopping towns spaced closely together, plus excellent beaches and pleasant fishing villages with gorgeous scenery dot this utopian island surrounded by powdery white sand. The natives are friendly and everyone speaks English. If you're into water sports (snorkeling, jet-skiing, parasailing), there is no end to the number of reputable beach rental spots to accommodate your adventurous side. And, with a great variety of world cuisine at a number of well-established restaurants, plus some of the freshest seafood money can buy (and affordably, at that!), you will never find yourself with any lack of dining options.
