I'm thinking about Aruba for my honeymoon, would you recommend that as a good spot for a honeymoon? I've heard nothing but good things about Aruba other than the obvious about that pos Dutch kid.
Heard a lot of ( Go vols ) today at the beach in Destin. See lots of T's and lots of orange down here.... Happy 4th..GBO

The whole state of Florida is on constant lookout for the bandwagon.
Like I literally just picture robots that sit on their couch, turn on ESPN, ESPN tells them who is trending right now, they stand up off the couch, they head to the nearest sports store to purchase the jersey of said trending team.
During all this they never say a word to anyone. Just mindless bandwagon followers.
When I was stationed down there, I was a member of the Northwest Florida UT Alumni Association. Great group of people!
We used to get together at Angler's and watch games.
There are quite a few Vol fans down in Destin and FWB.
It's always nice to be around fellow Vols fans during football seaon.

The answer is.... It depends! If you are looking for somewhere to go that has a familiar beach feel, speaks English and takes US dollars, then it's great. The people are very friendly.
The trade winds make it very arrid and not tropical so if you are looking for tropics like Hawaii, this place is not it. It's more of a desert feel. Lots of cactus and sand/dirt.
It's a great area to just hang out and grab sun and sea and relax
It's costly here as well. You can do a trip to Hawaii for the about the same price and the difference will be the flights.
My two cents...
Went there on my honeymoon and loved it! As another poster mentioned outside the resorts, it's pretty barren. Still neat to see. We rented a jeep and drove all over the island - almost literally. The bocas on the side opposite the resorts are cool. We happen to be there when it wasn't crowded and went like two hours driving around that side of the island without seeing anyone. Make sure you do some snorkeling too!
I used to work with a lady who did cruises non stop. Had a "suga daddy" per say, despite her age. She told me if she could go to anywhere on her trips again, Bermuda is the location. Just a thought to look into.
