EP17: Returning to Where it Started with James Haroutunian

Today on One Happy Podcast it is my pleasure to present to you an episode I did with a wonderful guy, James Haroutunian. James is a Massachusetts native who first visited Aruba 14 years ago as a newlywed for his honeymoon with his beautiful wife Amy. Well now they are returning to the island for the first time since then with their two incredible children Isabel and Jack.

This interview is very special as it actually takes place in two parts. During the first half you will hear about how they spent that first trip. James takes us back in time and we explore the island through his eyes. Then we talk about the expectations he has for this upcoming trip. Then in the second half of the interview James returns to fill us in on where Aruba is as special as he remembers.

Throughout the interview we also are joined by a couple of very special guests who offer their opinions on our favorite vacation destination.
