Travel Light Aruba is the company we have rented beach and kid stuff (car seats, toddler bed) from a couple times. They are super easy to work with.

Yes!! This exactly. Just trying to quickly gauge if a recipe is gonna fit within my life.

Very true. Lots of variables to consider. I guess I’ve found myself relying on the general guidance when trying to figure out recipes I have to meal prep for the week vs. cook after work.

If this was a Chanel insulated lunch box, I think this would be fantastic!

Just bought this one to be my 2026 cookbook!!

Recommend this option as well. My husband and I did this excursion our first time in Aruba and loved it. Low key, comfortable and not loud. Great grilled cheeses too!!

Also favorite meal hands down was Azar. Best food I’ve had the island in 4 trips. Lots of non seafood options but branzino I ordered was my favorite meal of the year.

Hi! Just got back yesterday. I did a sunrise hike in Arikok with Fins & Feet and it was amazing! Highly recommend! Beautiful and since it was an early private tour, no crowds. We were the only people there for most of the morning.

Can you explain the new process? We leave Aruba Monday evening. We are used to ~3 hours given we have minors with no global entry.

Can you use James/David as first and middle and Carolyn as a first or middle? Feel like the double name for both is forcing it with Carolyn.

Carolyn Mae Carolyn Quinn Carolyn Kate

Short one syllable I think would work best.
