I´m new in BT, and this is my first message.Very exiting!Me and my friend Lisbeth are going to Bonaire for 3 weeks holiday from january 20th next year.Only 152 days left!! Danish people don´t know anything about the ABC islands, not much anyway. I do because I have a dutch history.I´m sure we´ve paid much more than any of you for our trip 3200euro for flight and stay at Happy Holiday Homes.All of you seem crazy about Bonaire( I´ve read a lot your messages in BT)and I think I will get addicted as well. And then I definitely will keep coming back. But then it has to be cheaper than this trip in january. Maybe some of you can get me in contact with cheap dutch travelagencies when needed?

Hi Carter. Thanks a lot for your tip and answer.I´m sure whatever we pay it will be worth it. I´m still interested in knowing some more dutch travelagencies. And yes Carter, I would very much like to write to your wife in danish. I still remember some dutch, but it´s difficult.

Good places do take some effort getting to... I went the opposite way a few years ago, Bonaire to Denmark. I had to travel with a friend from the US (meeting in the US), so here's what I/we did:

Hi Ruth. Thanks for your reply. We pay $1000 pp going copenhagen-amsterdam-BON-amsterdam-copenhagen. So your flight was quit a bit cheaper . As far as I know we have both easy-jet and ryanair. Yes Copenhagen is a great city. And bar-life is really nice. Danes are very easy-going and most of them are used to drink and enjoy themselves in cozy nearby bars.I bit like Bonaire I guess? Hope to see you in january.

Yup, just like Bonaire in attitude, just not lattitude, that's why I liked it so much, and felt at home, except for the 10 layers of clothing!

Helga, haven't booked yet, but our plans are to be there from jan 22 to feb 8. We will be staying with Bonaire Bungalows. This will be our 3rd time. Am I addicted?? No, not really,.... it's just that Bonaire is great, feels like home, can't wait to go back once I set foot in Holland again, I watch the cams every day, read all about Bonaire there is, read over and over in my travel guides, watch my holliday pics about every week, will be learning Papiamentu this winter, am dreaming about owning a house there..... nah, that's no addiction, is it???
