I understand your concern about your trip.  My husband and I have both traveled to Aruba (before we were married) and found it to be a beautiful island.  May 17 I booked a 9 day Anniversary trip to Aruba - I have wanted to cancel it many times and he talked me out of it.  Before the show was over yesterday I cancelled the trip - WE DID NOT CARE WHAT IT COST!!! I have a 20 year old daughter and an 18 year old step daughter (she left for her Sr trip the day Natalee disappeared) who travel on their own frequently and my heart has ached for Beth and her family daily.  She has to be one of the strongest women I've ever seen.  The few times she's been repremanded for actions or words (very warranted) is amazing - I'd probably been in jail by June 2!  If the cruise line won't change your day in Aruba (only with enough pressure from other passengers will that happen) I would stay on the ship - treat it like a day at sea.  Your itinerary will be a wonderful one without the fear of being on that island.  I did not want to give them 1cent of my vacation $.  Crimes have been commited and overlooked - this mother deserves answers and closure. God bless Natalee and her loving family. 

And?? How was Aruba?? You went one of the best time of the year, February...Carnival season!!You must have had a BLAST!! Carnival time, nice beaches and friendly people what more can you ask for?? I'm sure you didn't stay on the ship in a boring room!! Hope you bought souvenirs and hope you visit again..
