Do you have any further information on the charter you were working on? Did it fall through? I'd certainly appreciate an easier flight from the midwest. Thanks, Judy

Judy, I've always had good luck with AA from Columbus, through San Juan.

By Judy Workman (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #9) on Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 2:39 pm: |
Kelly, When and Where? Which club? We've used AA too; I'm just getting nervous with all the problems. I particularly don't like the prop plane from San Juan. You'd think with all our luggage, they'd schedule something with some cargo room. We're also looking into the Continental flights for May.

We are actually doing the red eye from Chicago to Houston and Houston to Bonaire in April 2006. Looking forward to it !!!

I have heard that The Plaza has a special package for the red eye from Houston. Instead of paying for one night, for $37.50 per person you get breakfast, lunch, luggage storage, and beach bed and towel. Check in is 2 PM.

Diane, I'll be very interested to see how that works out for you. I may try that option on my next trip. Make sure you let us know!

Thanks Kelly I sure will . I have been watching the board and it doesn't look like any other BT'ers are doing it right now... I will let everyone know.. ! Thanks !

Hi Guys!

By Judy Workman (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #10) on Friday, August 26, 2005 - 8:36 pm: |
Thanks for keeping us posted Liz. I just found out today our dive club is planning a January trip. Told them to hold off booking flights for a few weeks. We're very excited to see how it turns out and if it'll work for us.

Slight delay Menno, as usual on Bonaire...I'm off island for medical reasons until Monday (don't worry I'm fine, upkeep..lol). Hope to have more news when I get back.

I hope you get better soon.

Good to see you posting and visiting Gibi's again Liz, to me that looks like you are back and fully healthy again. How about the new flight ??????????????

Menno,

By Menno de Bree (BonaireTalker - Post #26) on Tuesday, September 6, 2005 - 11:48 am: |
Not necessary to contact me direct for this, since I am not involved in this anyway. I will read your posting here on BT about it. Good luck.
|
By Menno de Bree (BonaireTalker - Post #28) on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 9:00 am: |
Liz, its's about a week ago now and it is time to shake the tree again: How are things with the new flight ???

Ok it's after 3pm... Where can we read the release? & Liz thanks for all the work you have done.
|
By The Ginocchio's @ Golden Reef Inn (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #865) on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 5:51 pm: |
I am forwarding it to the Moderators for release.
|
By The Ginocchio's @ Golden Reef Inn (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #866) on Monday, September 12, 2005 - 8:34 pm: |
Just to let you know the release is in the hands of the Moderators to post.
|
By Judy Workman (BonaireTalker - Post #12) on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 8:48 am: |
Moderators - Give us the good news please!!! We're waiting for the travel solution to our favorite place. Thanks again Liz, for all of your hard work. Hope this is our answer! Judy
|
By Gary Long (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #136) on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 10:25 am: |
I hope the flights don't start before we hear about them. Liz, thanks for all your hard work.

By Seb (Moderator) (Moderator - Post #10) on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 11:32 am: |
I'm sure if you were to e-mail Liz directly for information about her charter, she would be happy to respond with information. Since the moderators only got the information from Liz last night, and there are five of us spread over several time zones, we will all need to review it and speak with each other before we post anything. Thank you for your patience.
|
By Walt III (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #248) on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 2:29 pm: |
With 5 of you I would think that some info could have been posted by now, especially since airlift is so important to Bonaire.
|
By Josie (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1099) on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 3:15 pm: |
And the cost is????
|
By Moderator (Moderator - Post #11) on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 9:57 pm: |
As the moderators, we feel it necessary to clarify a few things. There have been allegations and denials of self promotion involved in this project from the beginning, and we have been trying to collect information so that we can determine what is OK to post, and not OK to post (at this point, we (the moderators) are still gathering information). This is one of the most troublesome and time consuming parts of moderating.

Liz, the 'upkeep' thing made me cringe..you poor ladies and the upkeep....I dont get that until my 50's or so.
|
By Carole B. (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5327) on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 2:04 am: |
Hi, there....Is the charter operation still in "go" mode? I sent an email to the yahoo address asking for more information. Carole

By Sue Goodman (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #216) on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 8:08 pm: |
Finally just saw this schedule (thanks Walt!) & will contact Liz for more details. That 8:30pm arrival time is a killer - allowing for time to clear customs it will be very difficult to make a connection that night (& I'm just in NJ!).
|
By The Ginocchio's @ Golden Reef Inn (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #902) on Sunday, October 30, 2005 - 6:08 am: |
Sue we are working on adjusting the time, but unfortunately Wilma put a big hurt on Miami/FLL. Contact has been spotty by phone and internet. Hopefully we will have the EXACT schedule out by the end of this week.
