Don't know if you heard, but the natural bridge collapsed on September
2, 2005. You can find photo's on the Internet.

Hi,

Yes, I saw that on the news. Aruba has been in the news a lot lately

I hear that things are fine there now. But I get that from a travel agent
and the Mill Resort. Would they deceive me?

If you're a hot little blond chickie, I advise not going off late at night
with strange men.

Science is when a beautiful theory is killed by
an ugly fact.

I just returned from Aruba. Stayed at the Hyatt and dove with Red
Sail. The island's in great shape. No sign of hurricane damage. The
hotel was sold out. Tourism has not been impacted. The restaurants are
great, although the diving is just fair (its not Bonaire or Curacao).
