3.0 out of 5 stars Fodor's 2000 Pocket Aruba, July 8, 2000

By

This review is from: Fodor's Pocket Aruba 2000: All The Best of the Island (Paperback)

This pocket book is only 90 pages long, and 28 pages or so are devoted to the island of Curacao. Also, another 12 pages are a gambling primer; if I don't gamble why would I care? Stick to the topic Fodor's; this is a book on ARUBA! A lot of the information provided is generic to any international trip and thus of little use. The book's actual information that is specific to Aruba is, however, useful to the first time traveller; I just wish there was more of it! You can probably read it in a couple of hours, certainly on the long plane flight there!
