One Happy Island

Do you have a place that feels like a second home? Well for me, mine is Aruba. It is an island located off the coast of Venezuela. The average temperature is in the high 80's and all I enjoy doing there is is laying on the beach drinking chilled refreshers.   Being on the beach makes me feel relaxed and not nearly as stressed.  It's the only place I can be my complete self and not have a worry in the world.  I love being able to have quality time with my family in one of my favorite places in the world.

All of the people that I have met in Aruba have been extremely friendly and welcoming.  And as you are just walking down the beach everyone is laughing and having such an amazing time. It is truly such a touching thing to see. It's like the world everyone has dreamed of, EVERYONE IS HAPPY, that is the reason it is known as One Happy Island. Some of the friends I met on the beach were workers there and they gave me deals on a lot of things in the area such as getting free boat rides on the water. This time when my mom, my family friend Mark and I go to Aruba on April 20th he knows a lot of people down there, one of them being the owner to Jolly Pirates, its kind of like a party boat, and we are going to be about to go on for free! There is also this really awesome rope swing on the boat that goes into the water and you cant go with more then one person at once.

I am so thankful that I have gotten to go here as many times as I have, well at all! Not many kids or let alone adults have even got the opportunity to leave Maine.
