Curaçao

For the snorkeling excursion you can book through the resort - do they provide life vests for snorkeling? I haven’t been snorkeling before and would be much more comfortable with one of the inflatable life vests or pool noodle/float

Transporting Kayak

I have a 2023 cx5 and just bought a 10 ft kayak. I transported it home by ratchet strapping it inside the car with the back hatch cracked open.
My cx5 does not have roof rails so I’m trying to find out what I would need to buy and do in order to attach the kayak to the top of my car.
I did try googling but wasn’t getting the most clear information

Lake Harmony

I’m doing a combined bachelor/bachelorette party near Lake Harmony next month and am trying to plan activities. We want to do some sort of boat rental. I know Lake Harmony water sports does chartered pontoon boats and speed boats for water tubing, and also offers kayak and paddle board rentals. I saw that yeti water sports does rentals as well but couldn’t find any info on what they offer or pricing.
Other activities/places we saw were Nick’s lakehouse, piggy’s, Louie’s prime steakhouse, shenanigans karaoke, terra cottage, boulder view tavern, and pocono white water rafting. Is there anything else we should look into to consider?

Bach trip

We are looking to rent a house from AirBNB or VRBO for a combined Bachelor/bachelorette trip and I was wondering if anyone had any input on these areas. A lot of the homes are in gated communities. We are mostly planning on doing activities at the house but would also be interested in kayaking/swimming, wineries, or anything that is nearby to wherever we are staying. Not looking for nightlife/bars.

Looking for some kitchen recommendations

I’m building my wedding registry and am still trying to decide on a few items.

Stainless steel fry pan and large pot.
I have a few pots and pans already that I like (some nonstick, some stainless steel) but am looking for two good staple items. I have heard good things about all clad but am trying to narrow down which pot and pan to ask for

End grain cutting board
I at least want a large one for everyday use but may ask for a smaller one as well

Cooking utensils
All our current ones are cheap plastic that is probably melting and chipping off into our food. Not looking for anything super fancy, just ones that will hold up better and be less toxic to cook with lol

Aruba vs curaçao

We are going on our honeymoon in September and right now are booked for 5 nights at Sandals royal curaçao, but have been looking into other options because the flights to curaçao are so expensive. We have narrowed it down to either sticking with sandals or booking 6 nights at the Boardwalk Boutique in Aruba (flights to Aruba are much less than curaçao).

Has anyone had experience with either or have any input? I’m not sure whether Boardwalk offers an all inclusive meal plan, but if we go there we were not planning on doing any sort of meal plans.

Aruba

Has anyone stayed at any of the following places in Aruba? We are considering them for our honeymoon in September. Most important factors to us are ease of beach access, close proximity to restaurants, and ease of reserving or finding somewhere to sit on the beach. We are also definitely interested in water activities and excursions (like ATV, beach tours, snorkeling, etc).

Honeymoon stay

Where would you stay if you couldn’t stay at bucuti & Tara (it is booked up for all the date ranges we are considering)?
We originally booked at sandals in curaçao but are reconsidering and are now looking at non-all inclusives. We want something laid back where we can enjoy swimming and in walking distance of restaurants, with opportunities to book activities or tours.
