Imagine an island bordered with silky white-sand beaches and turquoise waters as far as the eye can see, and you'll get a picture of Aruba. Float on the water and soak up the sun on a banana boat or go parasailing to get a bird's eye view of the water. Dance the night away to the rhythmic island beats of salsa and merengue and dine on freshly caught seafood prepared with a Caribbean flair. With a mild, pleasant climate averaging 82 degrees year-round and less than 20 inches of rainfall a year, you'll have near-perfect weather to do whatever your heart desires in this Caribbean paradise.
