Which is a better vacation spot? aruba or australia??

Question

My boyfriend and i want to go on a vacation next year. But we cant decide where to go. We narrowed it down to those two places.

Answer 1

Australia for me!!

Remember Natalie Holloway and her experience in Aruba?

Answer 2

Aruba's closer and accepts American Dollars plus its cheaper to travel to

Answer 3

i've never been to australia, but aruba was awesome.  one side of the island has really calm waters, the other side is really rough (if you like surfing there ya go!).  its outside of the hurricane belt so you wont have to worry about bad weather.  its always like 80 degrees.  its a desert island by nature, but they have transplanted palm trees to make it look more tropical around the resort areas.  it started sprinkling when we were there and everyone was freaking out that it was raining.  lasted all of like 3 minutes and didnt even wet the ground - haha.

when we went, my mom and i took a horseback ride all over, down the beach, in the desert, it was awesome.  my mom's boyfriend went on a bike ride from the same ranch, he enjoyed it a lot.  they also had atv's.  

it was a great vacation, really calm warm waters.

and its no where near as far of a plane ride as australia (tho i REALLY want to go there one day too).
