For the past 16 days, we have been hanging out in Aruba.  Visiting family, exploring, scuba diving, swimming, reading, sleeping, eating, doing yoga on the beach,  and generally biding our time in this paradise before we begin our Trinidadian chapter.  Here we have been safely in the familiar arms of friends and family; keeping us tethered to the line, but all the while we have been feeling the excitement and fear of the unknown waters that lie ahead.  One squeeze of a clothespin, and off we go!  Tomorrow the gig is up, we bid farewell to our beloved and familiar Aruba and hop on a plane to Trinidad, with a six hour lay over in Curacao.
