Hello all,<br />We made it back from Aruba safe and sound despite a few airline delays. Wow! I had the best time I've had in my life! What a beautiful and friendly island. It was my very first time at an ocean, and let me tell y'all right now, it will not be the last!<br /><br />The first day I got to go parasailing! It was really not anything like I expected it to be...so peacefull and quiet...I was really expecting a thrill or rush but it was actually relaxing. At 600 feet in the air, I was really counting on the captain's maintenece of his boat. After 10 minutes of sailing, they reeled me back into the boat like a fish. Hee Hee<br /><br />The next day, I went fishing with 3 new friends. This is Aron from Chicago and his barracuda and rainbow runner.<br /><br />
<br /><br />Here's Doug from Florida and his catch.<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />And his wife Beth with a big a*# barracuda!<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />Here's yours truly with a nice rainbow runner. What a beautiful fish!<br /><br />
<br /><br />Everybody in our party got to fish twice and we all boated fish each time we were up, except the first fish I caught. The captain had the durn thing in in hands and the silly fish slipped out and went right back to it's home. I guess he wasn't ready to be dinner.<br /><br />Here's the boat we wento out on.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />The next day my wife and I went on a snorkeling cruise where the fed us a wonderful dinner on this beautiful sailing vessel that was built in 1925. I'll show you more pics of this boat when my wife gets back from the blue box with the disc from her camera.<br /><br />All in all, we had a wonderful vacation (our first together after nine years together)<br /><br />Your friend Jeff
