I loved it! We rented a car to explore and I didn't feel like I saw everything I wanted to. I loved the European feel to the island! I was disappointed in the service, but that was the only negative. I bet a lot has changed in 40 years!
I am sure 40 years of change would be quite a surprise for me. We may need to check it out, at some point. Loved Aruba but Curaçao has a whole different vibe to it.
