We finally got to our apartment located at Topaz 30, North Aruba, around 6 PM after leaving for the Bonaire airport at 7:15 AM to return the rental truck. We were to meet Elisabeth for breakfast, but had to cancel when we were put on an 8:30 flight to Curacao. Then we sat in that airport until 1:45! When we did arrive in Aruba our luggage did not come until the 4:45 plane. We got the luggage and a taxi and met Jose Marin, who is the caretaker of the apartment. This is the main house with 2 apartments off in the back.
