curacao trip report thru American eyes with SXM-tinted glasses. Just completed a 9-10 day trip report to CUR. Like many other people here we looked for a different place to go after Irma damaged our usual island of choice. In fact we met other people in the same situation as ours, trying CUR and seeing what kind of an island it was and hwo it stacked up. Anyway-flight down on JB was smooth quick; a BIG THANK YOU to the people who told us about E-customs we blue right thru it making it a wonderful experience! We rented a car from a local company D&D Cars. They picked us up at the airport, it was a 3 minute drive to their place, our car was ready and waiting. We opted to rent a Garmin GPS unit for $5 a day. More to continue..
