I will be leaving Bonaire on Sept. 24 and will be travelling with 2 large dogs, a cat and a bird.

Miamians! Come to her rescue! And bring along your documentary filmmaker!

Will you be staying in Miami or traveling elsewhere in Florida?

By Belinda Z (BonaireTalker - Post #38) on Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 3:16 pm: |
Won't the person helping have to be on the plane too? Last time I flew you couldn't get past the security into the gate area without a boarding pass and I would think that the restrictions going into the customs/immigration area would be even more strict. I could be wrong however.

Niki, I'm sure one day there will be a west coast adventure too :-)

By Gail Thomas (BonaireTalker - Post #95) on Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 3:52 pm: |
It would almost be worth a 5 hour drive to Miami to see this!!!!

Dara, wish I could be there to help..would it be worth the while to get a limo driver to meet you at the airport..and pay him his fare to help you to your car with the "kids" and then he would be on his merry way...not sure Miami rates but about 80 dollars in New jersey to go 45 miles to airport....you just need a "carrier"...good luck....

Dara, I also have nothing to contribute but want to see my Post count go up...

By Dara Walter (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #529) on Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 9:32 pm: |
Ha, ha, Meryl, can you say "cargo van" :-) The dog kennels are 'grande' 2 1/2'w x 3 1/2'l x 2 1/2'h.....but you have spurred some additional thoughts regarding options to explore......this is a good thing! A BT brainstorming session!

Print a sign that says, "This baggage in not unattended. I am a bird. I am attending this luggage until the dogs get back with the cat and the girl."

I like Niki's suggestion of letting the bird watch his own carrier! I was also pondering if he might fit into one of the airport lockers for a brief stay :-) If the temperature is okay outside, he may be able to stay in the SUV, but I can't count on it....and I don't want to have to carry him along back in to claim the dogs and cat - that's already gonna be a handful to move.

Ha, ha! I may be close to finding help in MIA! Inez and Pablo, of CASABLANCA fame, have a daughter in MIA. She's going back to Argentina before I get there but is going to canvass her friends to find an ANGEL......maybe there really is hope for help!

I'd kind of like to take the bird and cat to CO along with the dogs......I've grown attached to them over the past 12 years ;-)

Jeeze, if drugs were the answer, I'd be rolling in cash like some of the locals, and just charter a plane for me, my pets and all of my stuff.....straight to Crested Butte!

Hopefully Dara will give us a 'trip report' on the Circus' Progress to CO. It sounded as though 'Progress' would be the proper description for her trip.
|
By Dara Walter (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #535) on Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 12:14 pm: |
Well, plans being what they are, and subject to change.....I am now on about "Plan K" for evacuation :-)

Glen, I think Sept 24th is still in the future....unless perhaps you adhere to a Mayan calendar....I think I'm still in August?????? Or maybe I'm just in the time warp of a bad dream........ :-)

"well in hand" would be overly optimistic....I think after today I'm on about "Plan M"
|
By Dara Walter (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #547) on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 10:36 pm: |
Well, the travelling circus is about to embark on "The Incredible Journey" Miami to Crested Butte.

Dara made it to CO!! I haven't talked to her yet, but her dad said she made it - with adventures, of course.
|
By Carole Baker (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2673) on Wednesday, October 1, 2003 - 11:43 pm: |
Bea, thanks for the update on Dara's Big Adventure. She will have some tales (tails??) to tell us, for sure, once she is at her final destination and a little more settled in. Can't wait to hear more! Carole

Bea, thanks for letting us know. I have been thinking about her, and wondering how she got on with the traveling circus Let her know the BT board says hi

Bea, thanks so much for the post....I have been thinking of her and wondering how her and the animals were doing....I hope the animals made it safely too. Can't wait to read her trip adventure.
|
By Bea and Marvin Jones (BonaireTalker - Post #49) on Sunday, October 5, 2003 - 9:03 pm: |
Well, Marvin talked to her the other day - and the dogs are fine but wondering why it is cold all of a sudden <g>! So, hopefully the cat and bird are OK also. We will meet sometime this week for coffee, so we'll know more.
