We stayed in Aruba for a week August 2002 and had a ball. The shopping district is right near the ship dock and you can hop on a bus ($1.00) to go to the hotel/resort area for relaxation on the beach. Also check out www.depalm.com for the different tours they offer. You can also rent jeeps and tour the whole island on your own. Item of note: the iguanas there are like pigeons in the city. They are every where.
