We stayed at LaCabana too! It was wonderful. They have such great restaurants in Aruba. I loved El Gauchos, Valentinos, there was another place at the Hilton I think, and they had black swans that swam by as you were eating. The restaurant I was talking about in my romantic day description was the Flying Fishbone. It is on the other side of the island, a tiny place but you eat right out on the beach with your feet in the sand and get to enjoy the sunset. We had such a great time when we went. We went horseback riding, 4-wheeling through the rocks to the natural pool, sailing, diving, snorkeling, out of the Tattoo boat and swung off the rope swing in the middle of the night. We went parasailing too. Ugh! I have been parasailing a number of times but did not think about how the trade winds would impact the experience. Let's put it this way, I was looking down trying to figure out whether or not I would die if I fell or just break my legs. I was pretty convinced that it was going to be the end. It's funny now but not then.

I'd love to go back there soon. My in-laws have a timeshare at LaCabana and go every winter for 2 weeks. They are so lucky!

What a great question!

I do this a lot when I got running, plan my dream house. Well I'd like there to a long driveway leading to a circle drive with a nice fountain out front. Of course the outside would be beautifully landscaped and have a large porch to sit on and shuck corn in the summers. The foyer would be dramatic: lots of light and space. I'd like a formal dining room, large kitchen, living room, and family room with closets and guest bath on the first floor. The kitchen would have at least 2 ovens and tons of pantry space. I'd also like a media room on the first floor with a projection screen, like an in-home cinema with popcorn machine and all. Upstairs I'd like 2 guest suites, a huge master bedroom with views of the ocean, Jacuzzi tub, sauna, enormous walk-in closets, the works! I'd love a couple more bedrooms including beautiful nursery (with a sweet little baby to go in there of course).

The third floor would have a library/office room, an exercise/gym and dance studio, a huge playroom, and a balcony to enjoy the ocean.

I would love to have the basement finished like an old pub with dark woods, beer taps, and wine cellar. It would also have beautiful leather sofas, a dance floor for parties and an old time juke box. I would also like a little ice-cream/soda shoppe for the kids with the 1950's diner décor.

I'm just a simple girl really LOL!
