So many islands, so little time. With all the tropical paradises you could visit, why would you pick Aruba for your Caribbean vacation?
Well, there's the reliably near-perfect weather. If you have only a week away from the job, why not guarantee yourself 7 days of ideal tanning conditions -- unwaveringly sunny skies, warm temperatures, and cooling breezes. And because the island's more of a desert than a rainforest, the humidity's low and it hardly ever rains. Hurricanes? There's never one within hundreds of miles. Aruba is far south of the tropical-storm belt.

According to astronauts who looked back from the moon, of all projects built by man, the Great Wall of China is the most conspicuous visible from space.
