last time I saw an iguana like that - I was taking a squat on "Iguana Island" during a kayak bonefish charter in Turks & Caicos... They were staring at me as I once again succumbed to the food poisoning.

Made a visit there some 20 years ago Loved it had a jeep for the week went from one end to the other and Side to Side.   Chased by Ferrel Dogs The restaurants were all 5 Star had a Bar setup in my room at the Wyndham Hotel must have changed by now.

want to check it out every day log into Earth Cam Live go to Aruba  5 cams live real-time along Hotel Row.  

 

Did not fish did snorkeling every morning.  And touring looks like you fished at Baby Beach from the Refinery in the background great for Snorkeling Shallow water.  

 

Now sit down Hotel Ocean Front 8th-floor Corner  Suite  Breakfast 6 days $200 Comp. and Airfare on Aruba Air all Transfers $ 1600.00 plus tax for 2 Adults.  In September.  Ate all Dinners out. 

It seemed no matter what activity you did the Booze flowed big time.  Did not do any Casinos.   

Chickened out on bringing home some Cuban Cigars Sorry Lunatic. 

 

Photos are from the Earth Cam.

We snorkel at baby beach. Saw a lot of fish there including a big yellowtail in 8 foot of water under a big over hang rock. Caught the snook on the north end of Eagle beach between the small jetty rocks

I went there years ago with my wife.  It's a beautiful place.  I chartered a boat and landed a 50 lb. yellowfin.  They cooked it for me right in the hotel.  We missed a marlin trolling.  It was a great time.
