EP125:Marlene Purcell is helping to make sure No Child Goes Hungry in Aruba
On this episode of Aruba’s number one podcast, “One Happy Podcast”, I am being joined by fellow aruba-phile Regina Crusan. Regina first discovered Aruba about 14 years ago. For her 40th birthday she decided to visit the island she would eventually come to love. However, unlike many of you listening Regina didn’t initially feel the pull of Aruba. After that first visit it would be an entire decade before she would once again set foot on Aruba. Now, 4 years ago Regina came to her senses and once again visited the island and ever since then she’s been hooked.
Regina has a unique visitor perspective on the island as she has stayed in two distinctly different areas of the island. Initially Regina enjoyed the ever popular Palm Beach experience at the Occidental Grand Aruba all-inclusive. However, she also enjoys the downtown Oranjestad area when she stays at the Renaissance Aruba resort. During the interview we spend quite a bit of time talking about the downtown area and of course Renaissance island, which is a fantastic experience.
In addition to conversing about the properties where Regina has stayed we also talk about touring the island and restaurants. During the course of this nearly hour long episode of the show, Regina and I discuss plenty of topics. I had a lot of fun recording this one as it was more of a conversation between two friends catching up (even though we’ve never met before), then an interview. From discussions we’ve had since this was recorded I’m pretty sure Regina had fun, and I hope you guys have a lot of fun listening to One Happy Podcast Episode 76.
