When traveling into other countries, it is nice to be able to contact local brothers who can help you either with your travel plans or find the local Kingdom Hall. If you personally have had experience with these individuals and would like to pass on information to others please email joel@bookbind.net Please do not send us travel agents but rather brothers who are in business as taxi drivers, boat drivers, excursion hosts, etc. These brothers often times can use the support and as tourist we are looking for trustworthy guides. Often times having this interchange of encouragement is the highlight of our trip. Custom Bookbinding is not affiliated with these persons and is only passing on what others have experienced, we are not responsible for accuracy.

The Oriental Museum has over 60 items of interest to Bible students, including the lion statues that Daniel would have walked past in Babylon, one of 2 replicas of the Moabite stone that has Jehovah's name. The original in the Louvre in Paris. Brother Kleven works has a volunteer guide on Saturdays, but you may want to email in advance to make sure he will be there.

Aruba---- Caribbean--- Br. Stanley Kemp, of the Orangestaad Congregation as an excellent contact point when visiting Aruba. He
has efficiency apartments for rent an easy walk from downtown
Orangestaad and also mid-island efficiency apartments for somewhat less
(it's a TINY island!).
For those wishing to tour the island (there is plenty to see) he has a
vehicle for rent and also serves as a taxi driver. Aruba is also served
by an excellent bus system and Stanley is perfectly willing to explain
how to use it. Fares are tiny by US standards.
Airport pickup and drop off is free for apartment renters. I know from
personal experience that he will bend over backwards to help you attend
meetings. Stanley J. Kemp Pagaaistraat 5 Orangestaad, Aruba Dutch Caribbean
