The bar that she was in is called 'Carlos 'n Charlies. This bar is in Oranjestad-the capitol (main) town. The holiday in where she was staying is about a 15-20 min ride by car. Not possible to walk. The holiday inn is at Palm beach. The lighthouse is about a 7 min. drive from further north. I have worked in that area so I know it very well. There is not much to do there and Carlos 'n Charlies is THE nightspot for that agegroup. all the 18 year old women go there when they visit Aruba. Strangely enough, one of the 2 suriname brothers used to work in an internet cafe that everybody visits, including me. A skinny guy. He was always polite, whatever that means. If you need more info about the surroundings, let me know. I live in Aruba part of the year.

Maybe the chaperones were busy drinking cheap tequila and smoking spices they thought were weed. Seriously, though, I suspect the chaperones may have been a little less inclined to watch the students closely since they were all high school graduates who'd likely all reached the age of consent. That being said, you'd think that she'd have one or two friends that would stick with her and never allow her to stay out alone. “Again, why was she allowed to bar hop, visit casino’s and stay out till 2AM?” Maybe the chaperones were busy drinking cheap tequila and smoking spices they thought were weed.

The chaperones they took along with with them must have summer jobs as referees for professional wrestling. Again, why was she allowed to bar hop, visit casino’s and stay out till 2AM?
