I just got back from my annual sabbatical to Aruba. We have a timeshare there next door to some friends. We've had it for five years, and this year I did something different. I took the Husband along. He'd never been there. He's not a beach person, and Aruba is pretty much about the beaches.

But not entirely. There are many good restaurants, there are plenty of gambling casinos, and there are many sights to see. One of our neighbors had always wanted to see a place called the "Natural Pool." It's a unique rock formation filled with water. And it's only accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles.

So we rented a Jeep. But the way there is not clearly marked. The trails eventually disappear and we were left in the middle of some very rocky terrain with no clue as to where we were. We never did find the pool.

But it was another fun day in Aruba.

And the rest of the week was beaches, casinos and restaurants. The Husband even enjoyed the beaches. We all had a good time.

But now we're home. Poo.
