Hey! We're Diana and Chad. A couple of soon to be empty nesters with a love for travel! Our adventure began in 2014 with a few vacations like most of us. Those trips were a bridge between reality and dreams. The more we explored new places & experienced new adventures, the more we fell in love with the idea of traveling full time! We're always dreaming our next adventure and planning to make all those dreams a reality. For now, we take advantage of any opportunity to getaway, enjoy each other and the adventure that awaits us.

@Diane and Chad how are you going to an all inclusive and staying in a ABB. I am looking to go to an ABB
Hi.. who did you guys book your excursions with?
We booked our excursion through Viator!
I have been following you on your social media for a few days, your content is so good. But there are lots of workspaces. That means you need to update your video optimization. Like SEO-friendly video title selection, writing an attractive SEO-related description, and researching high-rank targeted keywords according to your niche to rank your video. If you want I can help you to grow your audience and you will be happy to know that I am a professional digital marketer and UA-cam growth specialist. I am sincerely interested in helping you grow your UA-cam channel.
Somebody got a bit wasty 😅
It happens 😂😂
If your every UA-cam video is very demanding and deserves lots of organic results. You need proper on-page and off-page SEO and optimization. I can explain or show you where to update it and how to solve it professionally. Do you know about SEO and how to work it for top search results?
great
Glad you enjoyed our Island Diana and Chad 😁
Amazing video thank you! How did you find the secret pool that had the ladder that was near the end of your video and is there a specific entrance to the park you recommend us to use to get there wtih the UTV's we plan to rent? Seemed like you guys spent some time trying to find the park and wanted to learn from your experiences. Thank you
Thank you so very much!! The secret pool is outside of Arikok and right near Bushiribana ruins. I’d recommend using google maps and search cave pool Aruba. I’m not sure where UTVs would enter though but they’re running all over. For Arikok, search visitor center in google maps for the entrance. Have a great time in Aruba!
We enjoy your videos. We are going in June and can hardly wait! Map is a great idea. Where did you get yours?
Thank you!!! Aruba is magnificent!!! So as many of the “things” as you can!! We got the map at the Visitor Center at the entrance of Arikok!
so much fun to watch you both explore. Thanks for sharing!!
Enjoyed the video
"Best Day Ever!" for me was when I took my wife to Baby Beach. We found a tree under which we set up our lawn chairs and towels, and my wife went out waist deep into the water soaking up the scenery. I stayed under the tree watching her while the sun shone its brilliant warmth and the sea breeze prevented us from becoming over heated. The view was wondrous with families and children playing in the water. The whole thing was just so stress relieving. We stayed all day and didn't want to leave. Yep, "Best Day Ever". I still think about it. Have you ever had one of those?
But looks fun
That not off road just a dirt road
😂😂😂…. Fair🙃
We are going to Aruba for the 8th time on Saturday so I have watched a lot of videos! But I have to tell you yours is by far the best. It's not about what you are wearing or where you are staying it's about the beauty of Aruba. Thank you for showing the world the real Aruba. P.S you guys are funny 😂
Thank you so much. We really loved and embraced all the authentic things Aruba had to offer! Enjoy your upcoming time there. So jealous!!!
Anyone who has been to Aruba will return home thinking, "I'm living in the wrong country." Wife and I have been to Aruba 3 times so far and love it there. If I was wealthy, I'd definitely be living there. Not a doubt in my mind. So you experienced the Flying Fishbone. Yeah...food always tastes best when you toes are in the sand (and water). Some might think that's a Confucius saying, but no, I invented that one. 😄
I love seeing the travel to airport and arrival to vacation destination!
It’s fun to look back and know we made it…. But what a nightmare in the moment😳😂
This is so beautiful! I admire you two. I love travelling with my partner too. What camera did you film with? ❤
Thank you! Traveling brings out the best in both of us! We filmed with the Sony ZV1 and the iPhone 14pro max.
Such a phenomenal episode guys, amazing filming! 🔥🔥
Thank you so much☺️
Looks like a great trip! Can’t wait to go myself!
It was so amazing!!! Do it!!!
oh how we loath the "travel" part of traveling. you guys are pretty cool we are going to Aruba soon and really enjoying your content
Totally worth the “travel”!!!! Enjoy your time in Aruba! It’s absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks for the upload, we will be there soon
Where did you stay in Anna Maria Island?
Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort
@dianaandchad thank you! I saw you arriving to Anna Maria Island lol
I've just returned from Aruba and hated it there. 90F and 85RH at dawn and that's the best it gets. It's the same all year round. It's very expensive like $6 for a small local beer. Imports $12. Very limited public transport and a capital that is geared up for tourists and cruise ships. Lots of shops selling tourist tat that nobody wants. The Americans are welcome to it. The airport is OK and close to the city, that's about the only plus.
You are the very first person I’ve heard complain about not liking Aruba. You must be very hard to please.
What did you expect the temps to be 20 miles off the coast of Venezuela? It's expensive because it's not impoverished. It's modern and safe and this is what you're paying for. You want cheap, go to Cuba or Mexico. You'll find out why they're cheap.
If I want cheap I head to Malta or Cyprus. Not many Americans could find either on a map. they are missing a treat.
Wow! That is one place we didn't get to Arikok Park. Looks very cool! I think we would get lostvin there!😂 Loved the beautiful beach and cave. Looks like fun! Hope to get back to explore more. Enjoyed your video!!
Thank you so much 😁
Hope you make it back and get to Eagle Beach, which as a six-time visitor to Aruba, is my favorite on the island and usually ranked among the 10 best beaches in the world. It is not man-made or built up like Baby Beach; it is wide with incredibly soft-white sand, uncrowded and water that is spectacular, clean , and again, not packed with people. While you can stay close to the beach in shallow waters, you can also wade out for better swimming and have the place to yourself. The waves range from exceptionally gentle to fun but still mild waves. And if you stay in one of the low-rise resorts, you have palapas that provide shade. While I stay often at Airbnbs while travelling, renting a unit from a timeshare owner at a low rise is our preferred way to go, with out resort literally fronting a beach just steps away. For the best-prepared locally caught fish, go to Wacky Wahoos, whose owners go out fishing each morning on their boat, than prepare what they catch, along with great meat and pasta options. Zeerover is good but only deep fries their fish. Wacky Wahoos usually have a wider range of fish and will prepare it grilled, pan-fried, blackened or in a Dutch style with cheese --> both the grilled and pan-fried really preserve and heighten the flavors of the fish. And their preparation is exceptionally well-done and consistent; they never overcook their fish. As for weather, Aruba is hot year-round and usually windy -- the wind and dry air make the heat much more comfortable. The only time the weather pattern changes much is during hurricane season from September to early December. Aruba itself almost never gets hit by a hurricane because it is not actually in the Caribbean -- it's just off the coast of Venezuela. But when hurricane go through the Caribbean, it can cause the air to stagnate around Aruba, causing the wind to stop, so it feels more humid and muggy.
Eagle Beach is amazing. We did a video on Eagle Beach only. We can see why it's voted one of the best beaches in the world. We'll add Wacky Wahoos to our list of places to visit the next time we're in Aruba! Thanks for watching!
@@dianaandchad That's great -- I will have to watch the video! Wacky Wahoos is best for either an early or late dinner as they are so in demand they don't take reservations. People flock there even though it's in a strip mall not close to the ocean because the quality of the food. Happy travels!
What’s been your favorite restaurant so far? My wife and I our gonna be there on September 16th, love that place.
Price wise, Zeerover’s hands down. Food there was fresh and delicious. The best experience was feet in the water at Flying Fishbone, but pricey. Have a great time in Aruba!! We loved it too.
Beautiful video! Do you guys needed proof of yellow fever vaccination?
Thank you! No we didn’t.
When did you guys travel and was it very windy? Planning a trip in October. Thanks.
We were there in April. It was windy everyday but it wasn’t unbearable. It actually made it comfortable at times with the heat. You’ll love Aruba. Have a great time!
Such a fun day! Cheers 🌞🌴🥓🧉🍹
We loved AMI! Cheers!
Awesome video, especially the underwater footage... I noticed one thing though: Why doesn't Diana use a snorkel with her mask? It's way more fun to watch the underwater world without having to come up to breathe...
Thank you so much for the compliment and watching the video! Haven’t found a snorkel that fits comfortably.
We ate one evening for our anniversary at Passions on the Beach...it was the most beautiful sunset and meal ever...hope to return! We enjoy your adventures!
Beautiful Eagle Beach...we went in June( I was still teaching then)...water was warm then. We really loved our time in Aruba too. Its been 4 years..missing the island vibes.
We love Aruba! So glad y'all made it safely! Cute place to stay too!!
It was so much fun! Hoping to get back there some day!
Gary was wheelin😂
🤣
Eagle Beach was sooooooo windy!!! The water was amazing though. My only complaint was that there was nowhere to change or get anything to eat/drink. Well... there was one little beer shack looking place that wanted to charge us $1 to use their bathroom. Like??? Where are all these people using the restroom? Also didn't see anywhere to rent chairs lol maybe our dude took us to a different beach idk
Beautiful indeed
We're there in September....really hoping that the Donut shop is still there :)
Definitely a must!. Have a great time visiting AMI!
hey, like it, interesting . have a great day- Diana. 🤓

Thank you! Have fun in AMI. We loved it there!
Very interesting video🥰 👍16
We are heading to AMI for our first visit very soon! Cannot wait!! Love your videos and food reviews!
Enjoy your trip!!!
These videos have brought back so many great memories. My husband and I vacationed in the Keys before our kids, and with our kids .. now those two sons are adults and we have a grandson now as well. We haven't been back in the Keys for almost 15 years! Your videos make us want to return for sure!! We really enjoy both of you and your adventures!
Thank you 😊! Definitely try to make the trip back. It is as lovely as ever!
We stayed at the Islander our last trip down there and really enjoyed it. We head down in a few months and are doing a VRBO this time because we are being out adult kids with us. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. I will make some on our trip to share. Happy and safe travels to you all!
Same to you! Enjoy Islamorada!!!
Great video! Don't feel bad about getting sea sick. Folks who spend tons of time on the water will be fine 99% of the time and on a random day it hits like a hammer. Happens to everyone eventually if you spend time bobbing around in a boat.
Thank you!
страшная как моя жизнь
It happens to most people who go there, easy to stay. A snorkel trip is 100 percent a must if the wind lets up. Great video
Thank you!
