Chet ... Thanks so much for being the "keeper of the list". Mark and I are really looking forward to meeting everyone next month. Chatted with Diver Debbi this weekend before she left our cold and snowy homestate for Bonaire. I have been thinking of her all day today as she makes her way there!

Hi Josie...We will come on Feb. 4th...also had an email from Marie Snow and she is planning on coming. I looked at your photo on your profile page...so hopefully we can "find" each other!

Jan & Martin: updates entered!

Martin, for the list, your last name is Beck?

And Jan, it appears that this will be two consecutive years we'll miss meeting by a week.

Martin Beck? There is a Broadway theater with the same name in NYC, at least until next June when they rename it.

 

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Martin (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #5) on Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 11:45 am:     Edit PostPrint Post

Actually it's Martin Beckman. I probably need to add my last name to my username here to avoid confusion.

Lisa, you can't see it in the profile pic, but I have short brown (with grey!) hair, and glasses. And Alan has quite grey hair, also with glasses. I'm 5'2", he's 6 ft.

See you a week from today, 7 pm at Gibi's

Can't wait!! Bob and I look about the same as the photo on our profile page...twins are 2 years older then that photo...don't let the twin thing fool you as they now don't look anything alike..but we they will be with us...guess I should have asked..what is Gibi's? a restaurant or bar? Do they allow children?

Chet, thanks for putting the list together.

If I can do it I hope to make Gibi's on the 11th.

Josie and all,
If any of you are interested, you are invited to a KADUI Awards Ceremony at Eden Beach just prior to the event at Gibi's. E-mail me and I will fill you in. You can view a brief note on this earlier event by visiting: http://victorysports.net/kaduinews/
Scroll down until you see "Farewell Bonaire" Party.

Tom (aka Tad)

Josie, Lise, I can't wait to meet both of you. This is our first trip to Bonaire although I'm sure not our last. What type of place is Gibi's? Guess I better go now> We leave in 17 hours, but who's counting?
Marie

 

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Jake Richter (Moderator - Post #3787) on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 3:55 pm:     Edit PostPrint Post

Marie,

Gibi's is a local eatery with outdoor seating on folding chairs, at folding tables, under great big sprawling trees.

Great food and great prices (dinner with a couple of drinks is usually about $10-12 including a tip should you choose to leave one). They usually have about a dozen items on the menu, ranging from several different kinds of stew, fried & roasted chicken, fried fish steaks with a great creole sauce, and other local specialties.

If you need directions you can call Gibi's when on-island - 567-0655. If you ask for directions from a local, and they don't know Gibi's for some reason, ask them for directions to China Nobo, which is across the street.

We'll be at Gibi's the next 4 Tuesday nights ourselves. Probably getting there at about 6:30pm or so (except for the 11th when we're going to Bongo's first for Tom Cousino's shindig).

Jake

We are flying AJ out of Atlanta on the 1st. Anyone else on that flight or the one out of MBJ? Jake..just wondering...what is the "Tom Cousino's shindig"?

He posted a note around here somewhere that his dive group was having a small party at Bongo's (at Eden Beach) on Feb. 11th at 6pm.

Hi Chet,
Just to fill in the dates for me, March 3-17. Renting Kas Di Ambiente in Belnem. Thanks for keeping a running list. Hope to see some BTers while we are there!

Hi all,

All of you that are on the island are encouraged to attend this celebration. If Gibi's has room enough, I plan on heading there when my "Farewell Bonaire" and "Awards Ceremony" is
over:-{)} Please join us. I do not know if Diver Debbie, Adam or Josie have internet access and are visiting this board, so if any of you see them, please extend the invitation for me.

Harry,

Glad to hear that you and your lovely bride are finally going to Bonaire. Be prepared to sell your Pizza House and move there:-{)}

Tom
ps. 5 days woooooo-hooooo!!!!

Mary Lou ... we rented Kas di Ambiente last year and really enjoyed it! Have fun! We are leaving Bonaire the day you arrive so will not be able to swap stories.

Tom ... sorry to miss meeting you at Gibi's on the 11th as we will not make it to Gibi's until Feb 25th. Hmmm.... where in Burlington resembles Gibi's??? And are you gloating a bit about your departure date??

Susan MFCA (My Fellow Cheddah Ambassador),

Burlington has no place like Gibi's. Another good reason to escape the cold. Am I right?

Tom - can you or someone else coming down shortly see if you can find a USB-based digital film "multi-reader" which supports Memory Sticks, CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and whatever else is out there for digital cameras? Dazzle has one, as does Delkin - Best Buy would probably carry these. Should be about $50 - Michael Gaynor needs at least one for the new Chat 'n Browse store he just opened next to Sand Dollar Grocery (he's offering Internet access, cell phone rentals, digital camera rentals, and also sells local art, including that of my lovely wife :-) )

Jake,

A friend and I are on it. Will advise you of our luck in finding one soon.

I e-mailed Dan regarding the probe this morning, any idea how the testing is coming along?

Ask Michael if he needs Folger's and which blend. I recommend Green Mountain Coffee Roaster,s (what else) but I remember him posting for Folger's many times since this board started.

I look forward to seeing your talented wife's works in person.

Still have a little room in my extra piece of luggage folks.

Our buddy Bill "O" was in to see me yesterday. Hope one day to have him and the lovely Lisa in tow when I travel to Bonaire.

Till soon - be well,

Tom

are we gonna be allowed to dump our sticks somewhere? might be nice if baggage restrictions start to make bringing a laptop a problem...

of course we would also need to be able to look at the pics on something like a 15 TFT (much better than 1.8 LCD or whatever :-))

i guess i would pay...

Just heard from Dan. He is testing and recoating the probe today.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

One question I have of you "Island" folks, were is it I can find DEET. I just found out my bottle had leaked out. Went to every store here this morning, off course none have it. Got some funny looks to boot - oh well, I am used to that:-{o}

"DEET - Don't go to Nukove without it":-{)}

Off to work now. Only 4 more days, but, who is counting? ME THAT IS WHO! (Gloat, Gloat)

Getting close to gloating, too: we leave 2 weeks from today! We do spend one night in Miami so arrive Bonaire on Sat 2/15. "My" group of 6 will be staying at Casa Cia, the blue house on EEG Blvd south of the airport heading toward the BelMar - I think it is #20.

Hi Chet - Hi All! popping over from the webcam chat to give you our dates and start seeing what's happening!

My husband (Scott) and I will be staying at Buddy's from March 12 to the 19th. We both, like Mary Lou French, will be celebrating our birthdays... the BIG FOUR OH for all of us! We don't know Mary Lou yet, but hey.. there's a kindred spirit in celebrating such a momentous event together!

Looking forward to the visit!

Stef

Hey Ginny ... guess two weeks is within gloating range (that means that in one week I can start to gloat!) Will you be at Gibi's on Feb 25? Mark and I are taking our first trip to Colorado this summer (our first land-locked vacation in a long time) and would love to get some insider tips!

Chet ... I love that you are pc and have listed us as Susan Taft and Mark as I have never given any indication of our relationship! But it is Ok if you are ever doing another update and change it to Susan and Mark Taft as we have been happily married for 29 years!

Susan,
Done!
Will show-up on updates later today.
Also, later today I'll post a NEWS FLASH! (about party/pot-luck/BBQ instigated by Josie)

Anybody else who wants further (or less) info to show-up on the lists, either post here or send e-mail.

Chet, Jake, Darlene, et al,
All the paperwork has been filed for Melissa & I to be wed on 3/3. Sunset, no doubt. On the beach. We will let everyone know the exact beach & exact time next week.
It has been an interesting journey so far (such as getting Apostille's via The State Dept., etc...).
Am I going to overheat in a black suit? (that's fabric, by the way, not neoprene).
Less than a month to our arrival!

Hill & Melissa

Hilary, did you get the arrangements with Marvel? We had almost a daily contact the last week in order to get our paperwork done, but it has been done, and now, just wait for a few months and then it's hello married live! :-)

Enjoy your day!

Rick & Cindy, Steve, Michael, Jan (him) and ME!! - Bill aka superturtle - at Caribbean Court

See you then!! :-)

Lydia, Gibi's on Tuesday evenings is an open invitation for every Tuesday during Feb/March (and could certainly continue year-round if people just keep showing-up).

Superturtle Bill, I'll get you all on the list somehow.

Martin,
We used Corinne Gerhertz (spell check?) from Bonaire Tours. I appreciate the initial lead you gave me for Marvel Tromp. I left the decision making to Melissa.
We're both so excited about the trip that we blew off skiing this wk-end to shop at several dive shops in our area....Lots of dry suits on display. (Most of the waters here are frozen) Speedos were half price!
