I have a small group going to Aruba, and would like to send gift baskets (with snacks) to be delivered to their rooms. Is there a company that delivers out of the US, or would you suggest trying to find someone local in Aruba?

Wow, I didn't even know Sun Country was still in business. I flew them back in 1993 and vowed to NEVER fly them again. I was a flight attendant for United then and got on Sun Country to Las Vegas and I had zero leg room. ZERO.
