    EP126: Cindy and Rob's Virtual Aruba Vacation

    Today I am being joined on the podcast by the Otoski’s, Cindy and Rob.  Rob and Cindy are both long time visitors to the island and friends of the show.  While on the island they split time between the Renaissance and the Marriott, giving them a multifaceted view of the Aruba vacation experience.  Together they are part of the group that founded and runs the Renaissance Oceans Suites Aruba Timeshares Facebook or ROSAT for short.
     
    Rob and Cindy were actually supposed to be on the island at the time of recording but because the world is all sorts of upside down now instead Rob posted a hypothetical “What If..” style trip report, photos, and all.  
     
    Some of the places mentioned in this episode of the podcast are:
     
    Renaissance Ocean Suites Marriott Surf Club Bully Taxi Superfoods Montefort Ship Jolly Pirates Pinchos Zeerover LG Smith Coco Loco Pinchos Yemanja Papygayo Maroc

    Episode 124: Catching Up With Aruba Ray Ellin

    Episode 124: Catching Up With Aruba Ray Ellin

    Joining us today is Ray Ellin from Aruba Ray's Comedy, and he's here to give us a run-through of the terrific lineup of Aruba Comedy happening down in the island for the rest of this month and the beginning of February.
    On this most recent trip to the island I ran into Ray at the Holiday Inn which is the new venue for Aruba Ray's Comedy and it is fantastic.  Not only is the space larger than past Aruba Ray Comedy venues, but the centralized location of the Holiday Inn cannot be beat.  Also, there is a new piano bar across the hall from the comedy show called the Palicoco which is a lot of fun.
    Ray and I talk about a lot on the show such as, obviously the Aruba Comedy shows, Ray's availability and plans for future schedules, as  "This Week at the Comedy Cellar", which is the television show he produces which airs on Comedy Central. We talk a bit about the the behind the scenes and his experience with working with the fantastic team behind it. 
    For more information regarding Aruba Comedy, please visit https://www.arubacomedy.com/ and book your tickets to catch the remaining shows! They are fantastic and trust me you do not want to miss it.

    One Happy Podcast - Episode 123 The Return of One Happy Podcast with Aruba Curt and Maggie

    In this episode of One Happy Podcast, I am being joined by Maggie.  I know it has been a long time since we have spoken but after this episode, you will understand why.  
    Over the last several months my life has been completely turned upside down, but now that things are starting to normalize, its time to get back to recording.  
    In this first episode, you not only learn the story of why the podcast has been dormant but also we talk about the fact that we are returning to Aruba at the end of the month.
    Some preparations have already been made for our next visit to the island including booking an Airbnb rental, pre-flight hotel, and rental car.  So on this episode of One Happy Podcast, we talk about all of that.  I hope you enjoy.

Enjoy keeping up to date with my happy place through Curt. I have learned a lot even though we have been visited the island ever year the last 10 Years! The new show setup has been helpful planning around cruise ships. I met Curt @ Arashi last year..super nice guy even even though he was a fan of the wrong team in Pennsylvania! Keep up the good work!
