Marriott - View from the Balcony

Aruba Ocean Club. 2BR Ocean view. Second floor north tower. The ocean is there somewhere. First time here. Great resort!

The moon rise over Grande Ocean on HHI. Room 8935. No idea how we got ocean front. Requested high floor Starfish or Dolphin. This is Starfish bldg. close to Loggerhead Landing for drinks and lazy river for kids. What a great vacation we’ve had.
 
One more view from our balcony at Aruba Ocean Club. This was last night (actually 2:45am this morning 3/14/25). Total Lunar Eclipse. Ironically and coincidentally, the last time we were in Aruba was February 1998 and we came down especially to see a Total Solar Eclipse. So, it was cool to get the Lunar version on this trip.

And before anyone asks, no, we weren’t up at 2:45am to reserve a pool chair. We got up briefly to see lunar totality and went back to bed!

What a tease. Let’s see the 1998 pic too.

I have one at home. But it’s on an ancient medium called photo paper behind glass in a frame! Shot on something we used to call film.
