We'll fly AA4354 early in the morning to Miami (MIA). After a three-hour wait there, we'll do the 2.5-hour flight on AA1028. We'll save a buck and just do good economy seats this trip.
In Aruba, we'll stay with Tom (D's brother) and Abbey at the Costa Esmeralda complex of houses, condos, and hotel. Tom & Abbey take a month down here every February. We dropped in here on a cruise one year and could see how one could get to like this laid-back place.
Here's the link to the day we were here in 2015. They were in a different place that year.
Tom & Abbey took us to dinner at Red Fish, a mostly open-air place with different seafood things. All very good. A seasoning (pika) one sees here is onion in vinegar, somewhat spicy. Mom used to make something similar. More talk.
Back to the really nice 2br/2ba apartment with two pools. More chatter and fun. Lots of memories being discussed between D & Tom & Abbey about life on Long Island and in Delaware.
