Answer#1: Just wanted to add in a little on Samantha's
recommendations.Can't really help you with the
travel time either, but my best guess is anywhere
from 3 to 5 hours.Most of the atractions already
got mentioned there, so I will send you links to
the websites for most of them.Playa Porto Marie is
also a very nice place to swim, and so is Jeremy
Beach.As for eating, try out "Awa di
Playa" at Piscadera for good seafood,
"Parke Shete Boka" and "Plasa
Bieu" (Old Market) for some great locl
dishes. Most Hotels will have a "Wine and
Dine Guid" available for a more detailed list
of restaurants on the island. Once you visit the
Ostrich farm, you can also have some goood food
there.Here is a list of links to the various
activities. http://www.curacao-sea-aquarium.com/ http://www.ostrichfarm.net/ http://www.curacaomaritime.com/ http://www.curacaoliqueur.com/ http://www.carmabi.org/default.asp http://www.marcosfarm.com/ http://www.mermaidboattrips.com/ http://www.ranchoelsobrino.com/ http://www.avaloncuracao.com/ http://www.kurahulanda.com/04a_museum_info.html
Answer#2: I don't know how long the travel time is but I can
help you out on the other stuff.CuraƧao is a
really laid back island. The people here wear
mostly casual clothes and light clothes since the
weather is soo hot. We have allot of attractions
like an ostrich farm, a cave called Hato caves,
lots of diving sites, a dolphin academy where you
can swim with the dolphins, a seaquarium, and
great food.If you want to go dine out you have got
to ask the locals or the hotel frontdesk where the
best places are because they are a little hard to
find. I personally recomend the ribs factory. It's
a good mix of barbacue and high end dineing.
There's a lot of seafood restaurants too and
european like restaurants.The beaches are the best
beaches in the Caribbean. They all have white
sandy beaches and are blue (not green). Ask any
local and they will tell you that Knip beach is
the best beach. But since it's so popular you
might want to avoid going there on the weekends.
If you want to go to a beach where there's also a
great restaurant right on the beach you have to go
to Jan Thiel beach. You have to pay 5 guilders for
admission(that's about $2 for adults) but it's
worth it. I hope I've helped you enough on this
one. If you need any help just e-mail me and I'll
be glad to help.
Answer#3: all i know is the store Curacao is all over the
world, its CRAZY!
