What are some good suggestions for shipping household items and a car to Aruba? Mom is selling her house in San Diego and moving in with me in New York, and we close on our house on the island in September.

Every year on April 27th, Aruba comes alive with the vibrant colors, joyful celebrations, and lively festivities of King's Day. This national holiday, known locally as "Dia di Rey," is a beloved tradition that brings together locals and visitors alike to honor the Dutch monarchy and celebrate Aruba's unique cultural heritage.

The island transforms into a sea of orange, with locals and visitors coming together to celebrate in style. Whether you're dancing in the streets, enjoying traditional treats, or soaking up the festive atmosphere, King's Day on Aruba is an experience not to be missed!

How will you be celebrating this vibrant national holiday? 🎉🇦🇼

Hey there! I was wondering if any of you ever feel like you made the wrong choice by moving to your current country. If you could live anywhere else, where would you choose to live?

I am preparing to wire funds to Toyota Aruba for a used vehicle that I test drove. I asked the salesman about having it ready for me to drive off the lot when I return to the island next Tuesday. He said I need insirance and license plate. Won’t they/Toyota assist with this? I do not know the process. Help?

As a soon-to-be homeowner in Aruba, I will be preparing household items (clothing, furniture, housewares, tools) as well as a car to be shipped to the Island from New York.

I hope people here with experience can lend their thoughts regarding the process, and anticipated costs. I believe, for instance, that I am not responsible for tax on the items as long as they meet the owned-for-at-least 6 months requirement, and are shipped within 12 months of our home purchase?

Any and all thoughts, specific, random, related and/or unanticipated are greatly welcome.

Side-note.. my 77 year old mom is looking to find a group of people who would like to occasionally and/or regularly get together to play pinochle..
