Honeymoon Guru

Thank you to Meghan & Steven for the great comments about their honeymoon.  It was a pleasure helping them with their honeymoon planning to Aruba.  Thanks so much guys and congrats again on everything.

Skip and Amy,

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you! I found your letter the other day as I was reorganizing and wanted to respond to your letter. I just wanted to thank you so much for helping Steven and me with our honeymoon plans in October 2009 to Aruba. There are not even words to describe how amazing Aruba is! Our room at the RIU was wonderful and we had a great view of the gorgeous ocean. This was the second time we have stayed at an RIU hotel for vacation and we would definitely recommend them again! The thing I would recommend most was scuba diving. We went through a PADI certified place called Unique Sports of Aruba for our dive and were very impressed with how helpful and caring everyone was throughout the entire dive experience. We also went to two restaurants that we would highly recommend. The Argentinian steakhouse was called El Gaucho and I would go there again. Our favorite restaurant was The Flying Fishbone. The tables were actually set up on the beach and our feet were in the water while we were eating. The food and the atmosphere were great and we would visit here again also. I attached some pictures that were my favorites of our trip.
We are also planning to take a second honeymoon in October of this year and were looking at a few places and wanted to run them by ya’ll and see if you could give us some insights! We have looked at Turks and Cacos, the Bahamas and also the Dominican.  We know we want an all-inclusive regardless of where we go.  The main things we are concerned with are price, hotel quality, beaches, activities (especially scuba diving) and safety.

Sorry for the novel that I sent you but we just kinda wanted to get our foot in the door of what was out there and ya’lls opinions/advice. Thank you so much for making out honeymoon a memorable experience. We will definitely be booking with ya’ll again not only for our vacation in October but many vacations after that!

Thanks again!
Meghan & Steven Ponder
