Oh my, I didn't know about the boycott, and agreed - that is soooo ridiculous. But, when anything bad happens anywhere how much air-time is ever given to how lovely the area is (if, indeed it is)? We all know that people visit good and dangerous places every day (take NY, Chicago, other big cities here and overseas). I know Arubians are concerned, and I have been very impressed with the amt. of people just searching voluntarily. I don't feel it is the fault of Aruba, and would visit there (if I liked sand, the ocean and heat - I like the mountains).

However, I feel this constant "Aruba is beautiful" theme is being jammed down our throats for the sake of Aruba - not for the sake of Natalee. Aruba will recover...let's hope the same is true for Natalee!

Aruba is beautiful but there is gambling there, drugs and an unsavory feel about the island. When I was in Aruba I didn't like being off the beaten path. But the same feeling in other islands. St Martin, Bonaire, Cozumel, Barbados all felt different, safer. But the others I have been to I didn't feel safe. Caymens were okay but Jamaica, Aruba, St Lucia, Guadeloupe,,I wouldn't let my daughters out of my sight.
