Cactus Flower: Thanks for your comment. Almost all the car rental agencies in Aruba have Jeeps to rent, so I don't think you will have a problem finding one. Have a great trip! Please consider posting your travelogue. I would like to read it!

Thanks for your journal. I found it very interesting and informative. My daughter, son-in-law and I plan to leave next Tuesday for Aruba. It is my 1st time to go out of the states for 35 years. I'm counting the days!

nancp74: The Marriott where we stayed has another property right next door that has a casino. It's called the Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino.

There are many great restaurants on the island. It's safe and easy to travel around, so it's not really necessary to go all inclusive. We specifically chose a place with a kitchenette, so we never considered going all inclusive. My husband and I enjoyed driving and seeing the different parts of the island. But, I suppose the decision of whether or not to go all inclusive depends on your style of vacationing. I realize some people really like simply staying at the hotel the whole week, reading books, hanging out at the beach, taking part in a hotel's planned activities or whatever. I'm sure someplace like the Divi Aruba All Inclusive is a fine place to stay.
