I'm in Aruba now!

Glad you like it, we haven’t been to Aruba but I hear good things from everyone who has been there.

I just booked 2 weeks at the Marriott Surf Club with ACs - just could not resist the price - 2 bedroom units one week was $209, the other was $299. DH and I will be there 10/10-23. Now the challenge will be to find somewhere local that will do the rapid PCR test at all much less at a reasonable price. I'm thinking they will not bill insurance (and should not) for testing needed for travel.

What is AC if you don’t mind me asking.

AC = accommodation certificate. II gives them in exchange for depositing a week or making an exchange as well as at random intervals. There essentially bonus weeks for doing business with II and are good for use at certain resorts in specific times of year.

Please find a Christmas week. I was literally just looking at ticket prices and Fantasizing about going again from 11/29 to 01/03. Lol

On a different note, I signed my closing documents yesterday for my week 23 WP purchase. Fingers crossed for that. I will keep you updated. I had a few questions for you regarding that. Do I have to confirm my week after everything is said and done before depositing it into II after my II membership is confirmed? I’m a little ahead of myself here. Just waiting for the next steps and a little excited Lol.

I exchanged to the Divi Aruba Phoenix 1 bdrm for Feb 27 to March 6 2021. I am gambling that by that time the vaccine and and precautions taken now will have put the second wave on the decline. I have till Dec 26 to exercise my option to retrade but I am really hoping I won't have to because that is a great exchange that under normal circumstances I wouldn't have had much of a chance to get. Ironically, I am thinking the earlier exchange I have into Aruba will be a safer travel option than my other exchange into Orlando I have confirmed for April 11 to April 18 2021. I think I will be retrading that one again. Just hoping I don't have difficulty getting the quick test done in Ontario before leaving.
