"Bon boni" translates to welcome in the local Papiamento dialect, a greeting understood by all visitors to Aruba. Situated just 15 miles from Venezuela, this autonomous nation retains a ceremonial Dutch Governor General. While the economy once relied on oil, tourism has emerged as the primary industry, with travelers drawn to the island's endless beaches and spectacular diving opportunities.
The gabled houses and warehouses of Dutch colonial Willemstad stand in tight formation along the entrance to St. Anna Bay, presenting a vision of a tropical Amsterdam where the floating market offers mangos and papayas rather than tulips. Inland, within Curaçao's cunucu, historic Dutch landhuis estates remain, where ranchers continue to wrest a living from the arid soil.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
