Additional Details

Getting There

The Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) has more than

100 non-stop flights every week from several U.S. gateways and

one-stop connections from almost every city in the U.S. and

Canada. U.S.-bound passengers benefit from their own terminal

building that houses a U.S. INS/Customs facility, allowing

flights from Aruba to enter the U.S. as domestic flights.

Driving Directions from the Airport

From the Queen Beatrix International Airport: Take airport exit,

take a left at the light. Continue on this road until you reach

a roundabout. Take the 3rd exit, continuing straight along the

seashore. After approximately 2.5 miles, you will reach a 2nd

roundabout. Take the 2nd exit, continuing straight through.

Turn left at the 2nd set of traffic lights. Turn right at the next

intersection. Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino is the

2nd hotel on the left.

Passports

A current passport is required.

Weather

Aruba has the most sunny days of any island in the Caribbean

so visitors can expect unwaveringly sunny skies, warm

temperatures, and cooling

breezes. The average high

temperature in March is

85

0

F, and the average low

is 76

0

F. Because Aruba is

more of a desert than a

rainforest, the humidity

is low and it seldom

rains, and when it does,

it’s usually only a short

shower. And because

Aruba is far south of

the tropical-storm belt,

hurricanes don’t often

visit.

Shipping

Shipping to Aruba is very

expensive. PCCA is looking long and hard at everything we

plan to bring to the convention to determine what is absolutely

necessary. We recommend that you do the same. Shipping

items back home from Aruba is just as expensive, so it is wise

to minimize what needs to be shipped home, as well.

For items that must be shipped, you should ship early, 4 to

6 weeks before the start of the convention. One strategy PCCA

will use to get items to the convention is having staff members

carry them in their luggage. The $35-50 cost to check an extra

bag with the airline is most likely much cheaper than shipping

to the hotel.

Golf

While there is no golf tournament during this year’s

convention, attendees looking to play a round or two can make

tee times with the resort’s concierge for Tierra del Sol, Aruba’s

only 18-hole course, or the 9-hole Links at Divi Aruba.
