A rough plan, not a spreadsheet
5 nights in Aruba, two ways
- Day 1
Land, drop bags, do nothing on purpose
- Morning
- Get in, dump the suitcases in Palm Beach, argue about beds for four minutes.
- Afternoon
- First drink within walking distance. Nobody plans anything until everyone has eaten.
- Night
- Long dinner, early night, zero guilt.
- Day 2
A full horizontal day at the beach
- Morning
- Coffee, then loungers by 11. Someone brings a speaker nobody asked for.
- Afternoon
- Swim, nap, repeat. One person does actually read their book.
- Night
- Sunset drinks, then the nicest dinner of the trip in Eagle Beach.
- Day 3
One nice thing, then back to lying down
- Morning
- Late start. This is the point.
- Afternoon
- A boat, a spa, or a very good lunch that runs three hours.
- Night
- Wine on the balcony and the group chat's best photo dump.
- Day 4
Souvenirs and a suspicious taxi to the airport
- Morning
- Final swim or final coffee, depending on your people.
- Afternoon
- Everyone buys the same fridge magnet. Split the bill properly this time.
- Night
- Home, already sending the 'when's the next one' message.
- Day 5
The bonus day nobody regrets
- Morning
- Nowhere to be.
- Afternoon
- Back to the beach because it was the best part anyway.
- Night
- Leftover snacks, cards, and an unreasonably long debrief.
Steal it, ignore it, or hand it to the friend who insists on a spreadsheet.
