After facing many challenges getting out of South America, I have now made my way into the Islands of the Caribbean. What a welcome I received in Aruba. As soon as I walked into the FBO (Fixed Based Operations) building (which was even air-conditioned!), I was struck by the level of hospitality that I am used to and so dearly missed. I will remember forever being greeted by the office workers offering me an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Thank you Aruba. My joy in reaching a world that I am used to cannot be expressed in written words.
Aruba is a beautiful island with wonderful people. Even though I was far away from home, the hospitality of the Arubian people made me feel welcomed right away. The great people at The Morning News opened the doors to their home right away and made me feel extremely comfortable there. I wish that time wasn’t such an issue during this trip. Otherwise, I would have enjoyed spending much more of it on this beautiful island with blue oceans, beautiful sandy beaches and such welcoming shores.
The media in Aruba showed great interest in Kosovo’s issues. They were very pleased to know that someone from a country as far away as Kosovo thinks of them and respects their contributions.
Thank you to Aruba and it’s warm and welcoming people. May we meet again in the future.
