What can anyone suggest for the three and a half hours between flights at Aruba's airport? Anything at all?? (Hopefully there's a bar serving icy cold cocktails)

Right outside customs is a little snack bar and tables and chairs. This area is air conditioned. No cocktails however.

Hi Tish- The local place sounds great. I can wait for the cocktail if I have to...;-) This part of the trip will be the hardest part. We've waited so long to get to Bonaire, I want to BE there already!!

Bonnie we are going to be there (Aruba) for 5 hours (probably much less with customs/check in), ON SATURDAY!! (Rub it in). Our plan is to walk to the curb (with luggage), grab a cab and have them take us to Manchebo Beach (nice resort we have stayed at) for $17. Have the bellhop take care of the luggage (glad to do for a fee), and go to the beach/pool bar with carry on's. Reverse back to airport. It's important to have a plan, it's not necessaraly important to follow it.

Tuesday night at Gibi's is great. He's a terrific cook, and you can't beat the company--other BTers.

We'll plan on it! What time do people usually start to gather?

Tish, you need to post your pic so we will know you when we see you in Oct.!
|
By Bonnie (BonaireTalker - Post #95) on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 2:02 pm: |
Thanks, Kelly. I'm already relaxed just thinking about being there.... If only I could focus myself enough to finish my PACKING! <grrr>

That's it, Kelly! That's where that local restaurant is.

Bonnie, you will have a fabulous time, guaranteed.

The sad news is that the housing to our underwater camera is in need of replacement/repair. The good news is that we're bringing our new Nikon digital so there will be lots of above-the-sea shots. I hope we get out of the water enough to take some pics. And if I do, I'll post. Don't worry!

Bonnie... omg that was the funniest thing I've ever heard!!! It is tempting to walk backwards into Gibis next month...
|
By Bonnie (BonaireTalker - Post #99) on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 2:52 pm: |
Does that mean we have to go to Gibi's in black tie? LOL Fat chance of that!

Hi Cecil, we are going to Bonaire on 9/17 and have a 5 1/2 hour layover too. Can you post and let us know how it went going to that resort? We're thinking of doing something similar. Thanks!

By Cecil Berry (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4158) on Wednesday, August 10, 2005 - 9:47 pm: |
Renea, I'll let you know, here when I get to Bonaire (I do like the sound of that).
