About how long do you allow for the customs? I already had the bridge in mind, but will definitely be looking into the rock formations and winery. Also, thanks for the tip on the reusable bags - this is the first I heard about those.

I really enjoyed the video. I'll be in Aruba this summer. I'm staying in a VRBO on Eagle Beach. I already have Red Fish on my list for dinner and you just confirmed my decision. I was planning on walking to Terrazza Italiana since it's so close to my condo but now I'm feeling concerned about the dog situation. Otherwise, I don't plan to walk in any residential areas during my vacation.

@LucasWorldTravel

12 күн бұрын

I would still walk. I don't consider Terrazza Italiiana to be a residential area. It's still mostly resorts and commercial properties. Plus, any dogs on the beach boardwalk are very friendly. So, I wouldn't worry about walking around Eagle Beach at all. It's the neighborhoods behind the Super Foods that have the more territorial dogs.

I just left Aruba 2 days ago. The weather on average is 90 during the day and 80 at night. Also, maybe give current crime, not from 2008, 16 years ago. Aruba residents are very honest! If you lose something of value, it will most likely be turned in. My friend lost her bank card and the front desk had it. A person dropped $400 cash at Super Foods and it was turned in.

Greetings from Aruba! We made it and have loved it. We head back to the U.S. tomorrow. I'm reading about how long it takes to get through the airport here to your gate.. My guess is your experience was different, because you traveled to another island rather than back to the U.S. If you know about the experience of leaving Aruba and traveling back to the U.S., you may want to share that.

@LucasWorldTravel

12 күн бұрын

Yes, we went to another island so we don't know about the experience going back to the US. As far as I know, you go through US immigration in Aruba, but I think as long has you allow the advised 3 hours before departure that you should be fine.

In the Carribean, dogs are traditionally well trained to protect the property. As long as you keep walking, they won't go after you. If you stop or look like you want to go onto someone's property, then they might charge at you.

​@@LucasWorldTravel I hear you, and I'm certain it was a terrifying experience. I was born in Jamaica but came to the US as a child, so I am familiar with and comfortable in each country's culture. After 15 years in the US, I returned to Jamaica to spend time with my grandparents at their home in the country. When I got out of the car, their dogs immediately ran towards me, barking and growling all the way. With one word from my grandmother, they stopped in their tracks and returned to her. I stayed at her home for a month, and the dogs paid me no attention because of that first call back. She even had me feed them a couple of times (raw chicken with bones and other scraps). During that time, I was able to observe their behavior, which consisted of warning anyone and everyone not approved by my grandparents to stay away from the property line. Sometimes the dogs would give chase to ensure the potential intruder didn't try to be slick. I never saw them bite or attack anyone because everyone that pass the property got the message. The only dog attack that I'm aware of was here in the US. My brother was very badly bitten at our friend's house in Washington DC. Her dog was poorly trained and only understood attack mode, so when he managed to escape from a locked room in the house and quickly found him in the livingroom preparing to leave with us for school. My brother's initial scream was terrifying. He continued to scream, however, because the dog had locked his jaw into the bite and wouldn't release. The adults at the house struggled to free my brother (age 9 at the time). The bite went to the bone and required an emergency room visit, bed rest for several days, and crutches for sometime thereafter.

Something else to know, dogs usually aren't treated as pets on the Islands. They are working animals trained to guard property or atleast alert the owner to an intruder. Is it possible for us to agree that the Lucas's encountered one of many cultural differences between the islands and the US?
