True. I just don't think Aruba is any less safe than it was a month ago.
This is, of course, another reason to buy additional travel insurance or to book your travel using the trusty AMEX. The travel insurance I bought for my Thailand/Cambodia/Laos trip would have covered cancellation and ticket changes because of the tsunami. We, after getting the all-clear from family members at the Dept. of State, decided to go.

Surprisingly enough, I'm not an 18 year old who considers herself invincible either!
I haven't been 18 since Monica Lewinsky went down on Bill Clinton. I'm just an experienced traveler (with the additional passport pages to prove it!) who is just as careful in my neighborhood in New York as I am anywhere else on the globe.
But, what do I know?
