===== Suggestions from Bill =====

  * Tour of lighthouse and north side of island.
  * Snorkeling at Baby Beach in lagoon on southeastern tip of island. Bring bread to feed the fish. We rented a car to get there.
  * 1/2 day sport fishing on charter boat. Caught a wahoo and lost a marlin. Water was very rough even though it was calm at the beach.

===== Suggestions from Debbie =====

  * She mentioned a pirate ship that sails around the bay and they feed you dinner.

  * She also mentioned a bus that drives around the island where you can drink on the bus, but that's more of an adult only experience I should think 8-)

Just looking at [[http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g147247-Aruba.html|Trip Advisor Restaurants]], these jumped out at me: (it looks like we have lots of choices)

  * Costa Riba, San Nicolas
  * Barefoot Restaurant
  * Hollywood Smokehouse
  * Scott's Brats
