EP74: Talking Aruba Resorts with Tracey Beaver

On this episode of One Happy Podcast, I am lucky enough to be joined by friend of the show and Aruba veteran Tracey Beaver.  Tracey first appeared on the show way back in episode 8.  During that episode, we learned all about her discovery of Aruba and how she’s grown from newbie to seasoned vacationer.  Now nearly two years later we check back in to see how her love for the island has evolved.  Fresh off a trip to Aruba Tracey has now stayed at a half dozen different properties.  Additionally, Tracey has accumulated a whole list of amazing restaurants to recommend.

 

Over the course of this info-packed hour-long episode of the show, we touch on so many topics you may want to listen twice.  It’s not often you have the opportunity to sit down with someone with such a diverse understanding of so many resorts.  I ask Tracey which resort is best suited for couples, families, budget travelers, etc.  She also takes the time to school me on the procedure for renting a timeshare.  Also, Tracey fills me in on some of her newly discovered restaurants, as well as a few excursions she has experienced in the past.

 

All in all, this was a fantastic conversation about a subject near and dear to all of us.  Tracey’s love for the island really shines through during this interview.  Also, the knowledge she’s gathered from her experiences on Aruba taught me so much.  Hopefully, you guys enjoy this interview as much as I did.
