About the Authors
Ryne and Denise Cook: We spent 8 days on the tiny Caribbean island of Aruba, where we learned about the culture, the best places to go and the cheapest way to do everything you want to do there. That experience inspired this article, which we hope will serve as a guide to anyone wishing to have a dream vacation in paradise without breaking the budget.
