Aruba
Location: In the Caribbean, 15 miles north of Venezuela. Way, way
south of Miami.
Weather: It's nice out
History: There isn't any history. Aruba got lucky.
There isn't enough water for agriculture, so the conquistadors and sugar planters
usually left the place alone. It's just one beautiful, sunny afternoon after
another, and things have been that way forever. Not only that, it almost never
rains. Bring a calendar if you visit Aruba -- the place has a way of making you
forget what day it is.
