Off the Florida Keys......

There's a place called Kokomo. But I wasn't there. I was in Aruba...Jamaica oooo I wanna take ya. Sorry. I digress. Just can't stop singing that song since Kloon's mom got it stuck in my head. And also, I traveled to Aruba....Jamaica oooo I wanna take ya. Sorry...again.

Aruba from the Sky

My buddy Barbie couldn't wait to take a Selfie with me :-)

Lucky Number 6!

Call in the numerologist! We won big. I'm sure our hotel floor had something to do with it. "Wink"

I tried to add an M and remove the UB but I was run off by the local police - who don't carry guns by the way. 

Boardwalk view! It was a little creaky, but I took the boardwalk. By the end of my stay the boardwalk collapsed. I hope I didn't have anything to do with that. Could give me real body issues.

The view from my suite. Really big fish rolled in full of humans. Move over Noah, this whale Carnival is hungry.

After my Trolley ride I relaxed by the pool.

Apparently Aruba grows butterflies...since they can't grow grass.

These bugs were beautiful and really hungry. This guy stayed on this flower for a while...

After he finished his butterfly buffet I went to grab his leftovers like an extreme cheapskate. 

This cute guy in the turtle shirt is like the butterfly baby doctor. 

Butterflies are just like us...they drink from KEGS!!!

Wipe the spout.

and they love rotten fruit. This is the Butterfly Golden Corral.

I think this one is a moth. He just eats holes in the ceiling.

I tried to take pictures of the flowers but the butter bugs kept getting in the way!!!!

Finally! A flower pic.

After I escaped the Butterfly Effect, I ran to the California Lighthouse. And decided to run to the top like they do on biggest loser...

#WINNING!.....also sweating!!!

Aruba Hide-and-Go-Seek FAIL!!!! This place is a desert in the ocean!

the baby natural bridge

The ocean was beautiful!

But the waves were really high and my hair got wet, so I couldn't stay long

Then I went to the Renaissance private island on a Miami Vice boat.

Made a new friend who also has a love of cute hats. He didn't have a name, so I called him dinner...

...he left suddenly. Not sure why.

What do you know?! It's a flamenco dancer!

Their show wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, but I love that they work with Iguana and Gulls. So cool. #Can'tWeAllJustGetAlong?!

Found a hammock to brown in. The winter has been long.

And a view to write home about. Thanks for the fun and the sun Aruba!
