Went for my 60th birthday a few years ago and we LOVED it!!! Going back in a few months & can’t wait!!! The people are so friendly!!! 🇦🇼❤️

[@globetrottinggang]

I totally agree the people there are really friendly! We had an amazing time too. Enjoy your vacation! And thanks for watching 😊

[@ashleyluna9605]

Thank you so much for this video. It's the most comprehensive one I've seen and it has me SOOOOO excited for my trip in a few weeks. I paused many times to take notes. Really great work!

[@globetrottinggang]

Oh wow thank youuu! That is such a great compliment! Really happy you found the video useful! Enjoy your vacation to the fullest! If you feel like it, come back here afterwards and tell us how you found the island! 🥰😊

[@Manny_Boston]

Thank you! I feel the same about the video and I also paused to take notes even though I've been to Aruba twice. Going again for the third time for my birthday shortly. The Aruba effect is a thing.

[@jimray2281]

Excellent informative video! Last year there was a third Eduardo’s open at LaCabana on Eagle beach - hopefully they are still there. This was probably the most comprehensive video on Aruba I’ve ever seen - well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@globetrottinggang]

Thank you sooo much for this comment! I didn’t know about the third Eduardo. Thanks for the info! My daughter was telling me it was THE place to have the best açai bowl. Very happy you enjoyed the video. 😊😊😊

[@barryscorpio4983]

That’s a complete video. ❤

[@globetrottinggang]

Thank you so much! The goal was making the type of video we would love to watch before a vacation with the most information possible.☺️

[@kaymay257]

I am so glad I found your page! What a fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!! ❤

[@globetrottinggang]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😊 Very happy you enjoyed the video and find it useful!! 🥰

I love and miss Aruba so much ❤

Thank you for watching and commenting! Miss it too! 🥰

[@cynthiatravelingqueen9095]

i haven’t been to aruba since 2017 i look forward too returning your video was amazing

[@globetrottinggang]

Thank you very much for your comment! Are you planning to return soon? We dream of going back. Hopefully this year. Sigh! 🥰

[@cynthiatravelingqueen9095]

yes we are planning on returning we haven’t been there since 2017

Aruba!one happy island!❤❤❤❤❤

[@globetrottinggang]

We love Aruba so much! Thanks for watching!! 😊🥰😊🥰

[@ruthburney4547]

Excellent video! Captures the reason why Ive been to Aruba 3 times in the last nine months

[@globetrottinggang]

Wow 3 times! I completely understand! What an amazing island. For me it’s the fact that arriving in Aruba all the pain (from a workout injury) is gone. I walk on the beach and run up Mount Hoiiberg like a normal pain-free person. While here, I am struggling every single day. Aruba is perfect on all levels.

[@israelcunningham9141]

Great video and editing. You fit a lot into one trip. Thats how we like to travel as a family as well, gotta experience everything or we feel that we missed something.

[@globetrottinggang]

Thank you very much for watching and leaving a comment! Even though an all-inclusive is fun too, we love this form of travel the best: Vacations spent truly discovering a place, meeting locals, eating local cuisine are the ones we remember and talk about the most… even years later. Are you planning a trip to Aruba?

[@israelcunningham9141]

@@globetrottinggang that’s the way. We mix it up with cruises for the relaxing time and then land trips for a more thorough experience. Heading there in August. Keep up the good videos, you do a great job.

[@globetrottinggang]

Thanks for the kind words😊 yes cruises are great for discovering places you wouldn’t have thought of or gone to otherwise. Have an awesome trip in August!

[@arontravel1307]

One of the most complete videos on my Island that I found on KZbin! Great video keep👏🏽

@@dandicarla Absolutely

[@julie8602]

I’m traveling soon and I’m a bit concerned about driving in another country! How is it driving there?

[@globetrottinggang]

Hi! Thanks for watching. I totally understand I am always a little intimidated when driving during our travels. But we found the streets in Aruba were super easy to navigate. Only concern would be the roundabouts, if you are not used to them. We have some here in Canada, so it was Ok but if you don’t, you may want to watch a video or two about them. But after you’ve tried them, you’ll be fine. Link below is a good video I’ve found. Hope it helps! 😊😊 Have a great trip! kzbin.info/www/bejne/amfQgIOwaNebftUsi=9CafwVNR-9qr3qb9

[@Charitin]

Alot of roundabouts that's about it😂

[@globetrottinggang]

@@Charitin Exactly yes, but otherwise the streets are in great condition!

[@CurlyVeggie]

9:31 Where is this spot with the swing, please?

[@globetrottinggang]

Hi thanks for watching! It’s at Mangel Halto Beach on the side of the road. Approximately here: maps.app.goo.gl/KQLbNiNqhbEFovBM6?g_st=ic

[@CurlyVeggie]

Thank you kindly, looking forward to using some of your tips when I travel there this year.

[@globetrottinggang]
