I’ve been working hard for the last 3 years on this project. However, late last year I was so busy with other ventures that I couldn’t update this site until last month. It was sitting idle for almost half year! I don’t want this to happen again. There aren’t many sites like this dedicated to

New in Aruba: Skydive

Gabriel — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:35:02 +0000

Skydive Aruba A few months ago I started to hear a small aircraft flyby, pretty low too. I didn’t give this much thought really, as I live near the airport. However, it became so frequent that I started to wonder. It drove me crazy. I couldn’t figure it out until I saw ads for Skydive Aruba.

This condo/retail/office project was constructed in the heart of town, just next to the cruise ship terminal. The bankruptcy was hanging in the air for a while. The developers have had many issues throughout the

Palm Beach near Marriott This weekend I was at Palm Beach, near Marriott, doing a bit of investigating for a article I’m writing later this week. I must say, there was a nice and healthy buzz at Palm Beach. People having drinks while enjoying the scenery and shade. Others swimming, while others do the water sport activities

Acqua Recently One of the most high profile condominium projects in Aruba must be Acqua condo, currently under construction in Palm Beach.

Jardines del Mar In Trouble

Gabriel — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:42:09 +0000

Late last year I stumbled upon an ad in a local paper where a notary public was publicly auctioning off 17 units at Jardines del Mar.
