Episode 124: Catching Up With Aruba Ray Ellin
Joining us today is Ray Ellin from Aruba Ray's Comedy, and he's here to give us a run-through of the terrific lineup of Aruba Comedy happening down in the island for the rest of this month and the beginning of February. On this most recent trip to the island I ran into Ray at the Holiday Inn which is the new venue for Aruba Ray's Comedy and it is fantastic. Not only is the space larger than past Aruba Ray Comedy venues, but the centralized location of the Holiday Inn cannot be beat. Also, there is a new piano bar across the hall from the comedy show called the Palicoco which is a lot of fun. Ray and I talk about a lot on the show such as, obviously the Aruba Comedy shows, Ray's availability and plans for future schedules, as "This Week at the Comedy Cellar", which is the television show he produces which airs on Comedy Central. We talk a bit about the the behind the scenes and his experience with working with the fantastic team behind it. For more information regarding Aruba Comedy, please visit and book your tickets to catch the remaining shows! They are fantastic and trust me you do not want to miss it.

EP122-A: 2019 Aruba March Trip Report - Part 1
Hey all! Maggie and I are down in Aruba as of this moment for our first vacation trip in the island for 2019 and we’re here to give you a blow by blow report of our experience so far. Upon departing, we left Delaware on Friday night to fly out of BWI. We stayed at the Sheridan this time around which was great and ate some really good crab cakes which are Maryland’s specialty. After that, it was an early start the next morning for a 4 ½ flight to Aruba. 1ST DAY We chose Amigo for our car rental and saddled into our Kia Picanto. It’s a great little car that’s ideal for parking anywhere. Our plan for accommodations on this trip is to stay at our usual rental in Palm for the 1st half and then at an Airbnb in Noord for the 2nd half. Dinner was spent at The Lazy Turtle, which was becoming a 1st-day tradition. The French Onion Soup they had was notably excellent. We planned to watch the Lighting Parade which was supposed to start at 8 pm until around midnight but we ended up coming too early and missed it. 2ND DAY The next morning, we had a lovely brunch with our friend Ann at Windows Restaurant and later in the day got the chance to head to the beach. Meltaway Cafe was the destination for dinner. It’s a cool place with a unique concept which is serving cheese-based food. 3RD DAY Today we opted to go to the beach early and spent almost the entire day at Palm while grabbing some food at Eduardo’s and Scott’s Brats in between. We didn't leave the beach until 5:30 pm, then headed to dinner with Ann again at this new place called Opus Restaurant. We definitely recommend this place. Their food was awesome and they had an excellent staff. This was followed by a short trip to Marriott Stellaris for some gelato which in our opinion is the best on the island. 4TH DAY This day was filled with excitement as we headed over to the animal shelter, and ended up choosing 2 kittens to adopt. We named our two new bundles of joy Kiki and Koko. We still need time to work out the adoption process so we can fly them back with us to the U.S. but we’re very looking forward to welcoming them in our family! That’s it for our trip report for part 1, stay tuned for the remaining parts! ON THIS EPISODE ON ONE HAPPY PODCAST, YOU WILL: Hear about my story of... - almost losing my credit card - our flight attendant showing her bartending skills - the waiter at The Lazy Turtle being unintentionally funny RESTAURANTS AND SERVICES MENTIONED: - - - - - -

EP. 120: Jeremy Patterson Shares His Aruba Story
Today we invite to the show, Jeremy Patterson, an incredible guest who I met via Instagram. He reached out after having discovered the show and we have been talking back and forth ever since. Jeremy runs a website called . "When is your next trip" is dedicated to Jeremy's travels and you really should go there to check out some of his photography. So, Jeremy stumbled upon the podcast while he was looking for Aruba content and was blew away by the fact that it has more than a hundred episodes. I was absolutely thrilled to know that One Happy Podcast usually accompanies him on his daily commute because that's exactly what I envisioned this podcast's purpose — to be able to listen to it while you're doing something else in your daily lives. On this episode, Jeremy and I will discuss the place he usually stays at in Aruba, his favorite activities and restaurants, and basically his experiences in Aruba. He is a fellow Pittsburgher who's been to Aruba 9 times over the past 12 years. He first came to Aruba back in 2006 by a family invitation and stayed at Divi Aruba. Everywhere he’s stayed at ever since he started going to Aruba is pretty much around the Divi property. Fishing is one of the activities that Jeremy is fond of doing on the island. Jeremy also enjoys heading over to the Renaissance Private Island, sunset cruises, relaxing and people watching. Jeremy also happens to take incredible pictures using his iPhone. The restaurants he enjoyed from his trips include ODB, Hopi Bon, Dutch Pancake House, Casa Tua, Fusion Wine and Piano Bar, Matthew’s, Ricardo’s, Lucy’s, MooMba, Bugaloe, Nos Clubhuis, and Zeerovers. ON THIS EPISODE OF ONE HAPPY PODCAST, YOU WILL: Hear about Jeremy’s thoughts about Divi Aruba Restaurants that Jeremy enjoys on the island Hear Jeremy's experience with the crying room ESTABLISHMENTS AND RESTAURANTS MENTIONED:

This Week in Aruba: January 11-17, 2019 (Week 2)
Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of This Week in Aruba in 2019. We're gonna switch things up a lot this time and flush the format. So last year, TWIA was more events-based, but this year, we'll be focusing more on commentaries for what's happening around Aruba or some topics from the view of the people who love to visit Aruba via the Facebook and forum posts. We have a couple of topics that we want to go through: Who has the best cheeseburger on the island? Some popular opinions are: Alfie’s Local Store Twist of Flavours Chalo Burger Barney’s Dushi Bagel Bingo Matthew’s Champion’s White Modern Cuisine (during lunchtime) Smokey Joe’s A subject that’s near and dear to our hearts about adopting pets from Aruba. What do you do when a friend asks you about Aruba? How do you react to that question? What’s the best time of year to visit Aruba? The weather is mostly the same all-year round but are their certain factors that will make you go a specific month? We’d love to hear your opinions on these topics as well! You can contact us via the One Happy Podcast hotline at (302) 635-0815 or send us a message on or via email to . So now we’re gonna jump into the events happening this 2nd timeshare week in Aruba from Friday, January 11th to Thursday, January 17th. Aruba Carnival Season When: January 5 to March 3, 2019 (all day) Carnival means weeks of events that bring you colorfully decorated floats contagiously throbbing music luxuriously designed costumed groups of celebrants of all ages King & Queen elections electrifying Jump Ups Torch Light Parades that wind their way through the streets at night the Jouvert Morning Pajama Parade the Children's Parades and finally the Grand Parade! Officially starting in November, the majority of events, celebrations and parades are held in January and February until the Burning of King Momo, marking the end of Carnival Season. After the Burning of King Momo the entire island goes on hiatus, known as Carnival Monday (official day of rest). Prins & Pancho When: January 12 (Sat) / 7:00 pm - 12:00 am Where: Carnival Harbour Arena (Oranjestad) Prins & Pancho Election and Coronation (Children and Youth) The Prince and Pancho are two figures in Aruba's carnival tradition. The Prince's main task is to present his Queen to the people upon her election, and to accompany her wherever she appears. The Prime Minister opens the reign of the royal court by handing over the keys of the Island to the Prince. Pancho is the personal assistant of the Prince. His role is to tell jokes and accompany the Prince in his royal functions. The Prince and Pancho are chosen for their royal qualities. The duo is chosen for their comedy, personality, educational content and audience popularity. In the past, we used to have a long list of events but this time we just want to focus on a main event per week. We will have more events listed in the future, but for now, we just want to keep this episode short and sweet. Onto the cruise ship schedule for this week: Before we go, we’re giving a shoutout to Vallon Davis who I recorded a One Happy Podcast episode with. Thank you for being patient with me on your episode despite some technical problems. We hope you enjoyed this episode of This Week in Aruba!

EPISODE 119: Vallon Davis Returns to OHP
It's a new year, which means it's time for the first podcast of 2019. On this episode, we welcome back Vallon Davis who was a past guest in One Happy Podcast. Vallon is someone who is very passionate about Aruba and it's always a pleasure to have him on the show. Now, this won't be the usual format of OHP because Vallon and I have done all that before. This podcast episode will simply revolve around our conversation as he recounts his experiences from his latest trip to Aruba last September 14-26, 2018. Vallon is from Trinidad, so he's a bit different from my usual guests who are mostly from the States. He talked about the flight difficulties that he encountered, which you may not expect, considering that he lives in the same region as Aruba. We also discussed the different properties that he stayed at. He has a penchant for finding off-the-beaten-path kind of accommodations which is very interesting to hear about. Other topics that you will come across: how the movie-watching experience is in Aruba for those who haven't tried it yet, the restaurants that Vallon visited, and other small challenges that he faced during his journey down in Aruba. ON THIS EPISODE OF ONE HAPPY PODCAST, YOU WILL: Hear about the mysterious story about the opened lock in his suitcase Listen to a story of how he got mistaken as a staff and an Aruba local Know why he wants to learn Papiamento for his next Aruba trip Hear all about his recommended website for finding flights ACCOMMODATIONS AND RESTAURANTS MENTIONED:

Today, globalization, together with advances in communication and transport, has significantly increased the number of people with the desire and ability to move to other places. This new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies around the world. It has also served to underline the clear link between migration and development, as well as the opportunities it offers for co-development, that is, the joint improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination.

Aside from her Aruba story, we talk about airports, accommodations and why she thinks it's good to try a little bit of every kind of property to stay at, and her favorite restaurants.

This interest became so big that he would literally stand inside the dj booth at local club Bassline to find out what it's all about. Not much later, he and his mate Damy, also known as D.M.Y, bought their first pioneers. At the same time Marco's taste developed, as he listens to names like DJ Rush, Oliver Kucera, Dax J, Ben Sims and Stranger. In 2012, Marco's talent has been noticed, which resulted in several bookings including Strobe, Boothstock Festival, Toffler Festival and HEY!. He shared the stage with artist like Michel de Hey, Dave Clarke, DJ Rush, ROD and Slam. Checkout his latest sets and not only hear, but feel his funky and massive sound.

Our topic for discussion is the weather that took place down the island on this week. The weather over there is mostly not a topic of interest because it’s consistently good. However, this week, they experienced weather that was out of the ordinary. We weren’t there to personally experience it, but thanks to modern technology, we were able to see how tropical depression Kirk affected the island. It’s not as devastating as other hurricanes, however for a couple of days it affected the people’s ability to enjoy their vacations and also did quite a bit of damage on some properties. If there’s anything at all that you would like to suggest for the show or simply want to relay feedback, please do send me an email at or drop a voice message on our hotline number (302) 635-0815.

EP117: Tiffany Howard of HGTV Caribbean Life

EP117: Tiffany Howard of HGTV Caribbean Life
Today on One Happy Podcast we are being joined by a special guest, Tiffany Howard, who appeared on an episode of HGTV Caribbean Life titled "Exploring New Terrain on Aruba" which originally aired Sunday, September 2nd at 9pm. If you weren’t able to watch it, you can check out your local listings for a replay. Tiffany and her family were featured on their search for a house in Aruba. Listen to Tiffany’s story of how she and her husband discovered the island and how they came to the decision of purchasing an Aruban home. It’s definitely a journey full of twists and turns. Their family’s fully-refurbished Aruban home which was completed last September 2017 has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a small pool, a couple of grills at the backyard, and is 10 minutes away from the nearest beach all encased in a beautiful house painted in Caribbean blue. They’ve had it available for people who want to rent it out as well. Buying a home in Aruba definitely took some time, Tiffany says. It's not a quick process at all and it's very similar to the process of buying a house in the USA but with the added stress of being in another country. But everything turned alright in the end with some hard work and with the help of Tiffany’s team in Aruba. They have great communication. Every home that they keep is immaculate, clean, and consistent with amazing housekeeping and management. They really want to make their clients feel like the experience of living in Aruba even at least for a short while. Head on over to MyArubaDreamVilla.com for more information. Lastly, Tiffany gives advice for those who are keen on seeking out a house in Aruba: be patient and find a good team to support you. There is a lot of work to be done but there are also people who can help you navigate those waters so don't be afraid. ON THIS EPISODE OF ONE HAPPY PODCAST, YOU WILL: Find out the full story, from start to finish, of how Tiffany and her family made their dream Aruban home come true Hear about what they love to do in Aruba for fun Listen to Tiffany discuss why she loves to immerse herself in Aruba’s culture
