Ambitious Itinerary: Aruba

To help my cousin, Christine, who is planning a trip to Aruba this month, I decided to start up a new series on my blog called "Ambitious Itinerary."  Basically, I'll provide a quick rundown of several places that we were able to fit into a visit to a certain place.  I call it ambitious because we often cram a lot into a short period of time and cover a lot of ground.  So without further ado, here is my first Ambitious Itinerary for the island of Aruba:

California Lighthouse

Day 1:

California Lighthouse - While not as epic as other lighthouses we have seen, it's still a nice spot to visit in Aruba.  This place is more about the area rather than the lighthouse itself, as there are views of the ocean and walking trails to help take in the warm Aruba breeze and atmosphere from the top of the hill.  If they cleaned up the lighthouse, it would be a much better place to visit.  We didn't get to try it, but supposedly the Italian restaurant, La Trattoria el Faro Blanco, adjacent to the lighthouse is pretty good.
