A very long time observer, this is my first posting. We have been going to Bonaire for yearly visits for quite some time, but this last trip was an emotional roller coaster. Our 4 month old grandson went into the hospital the day after we left for Bonaire. His condition worsened and he was transferred to Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Our daughter was frantic, she had to talk to her mom. There were major decisions to be made on various test to be preformed some of which could lead to dire if not fatal results. I remembered about Chat N Browse and we went to talk to Michael about getting a cell phone. He was fantastic and his service is superb. Michael, please accept our truly heartfelt appreciation for the excellent care and concern for us. We're back home and waiting for all the results, but for now our grandson is home and doing well.Thanks, Becky and Brian.

He's a sweetheart, for sure! (Michael, that is!)

Brian, Hope your grandson is coming along fine and that all tests will be negative for him and for those who love him, as well. Carole and Joe

Michael definitely has a Big Heart !

Last April, Megan brought a friend with her to Bonaire for two weeks. After a week or so she was feeling quite lonesome for her family...emails just weren't cutting it. So we got a phone and a few minutes from Michael so she could call home. She was so excited until the only one home was her younger brother..which was OK but NOT the same as talking to her mom or dad. She cried. Michael let her borrow the phone overnight so she could make contact and her spirits were raised for the rest of the trip.

Michael's a great guy and has such a nice shop besides the Internet part. Lots of gift items. And Megan always looks forward to her almost nightly visits to Instant Message her friends..."Can we go see Michael now?" :-):-)

Brian,
Glad to hear your grandbaby is doing better. What a stressful time being so far away.

We used Michael's services for a cell phone and computer time uploading digital photos. He was very generous with his time helping me learn the system.
Thanks Mike. See you soon with some San Francisco Bagels

Michael

Glenfiddich is a very weak on the peat side, have you tried Lagavulin or Springbank? I still have a sealed bottle of Green Springbank cask strength that I can't open as it is for a special occasion, this was accidently matured in a rum cask with brass screws - hence the green, it also has a rum side taste.

I will try and have something decent to share when we return at Christmas along with the Walkers

Gregg

I remember Freddie brought you a six pack last year - surely you must have some left?

I am afraid Whisky, Stilton cheese and Walkers shortbread are already prebooked for distribution to the locals.

Brian,

Yep, Freddie brought me beer last year...I will be eternally grateful...however, that was then, this is now....always looking for someone to keep me in my good habits...hmm, where will you guys be staying? I've been known to drink a little whiskey and eat a little cheese
