My wife and I are thinking about another future Caribbean dive vacation in Feb - Mar 2010 and the logistics of travelling between the two islands. We would like to spend a couple of weeks in Dominica and then a few in Bonaire (or vice-versa.) We could take American Eagle and fly: Dominica – San Juan – Bonaire for about $750 each person, one way. But the AE flight from SJU to BON, in our experience, is a pain and we don’t want to risk a cancelled flight (one year we were the only AE plane to get off the ground); and possibly lost or delayed bags . Not only that, the flights from Dominica seem to leave late and making connections can be tricky. Soooooo …..

What an interesting idea! Seems to be to be a good use of the extra $$$. Grenada is lovely...

I can empathize with the challenge of getting across the sea to the other side of the Caribbean. I travel 3-5 times a year to Antigua and other islands. I have used AA mostly. It is such a pain to have to enter the US when one is not entering the US but simply transiting. It's a long arduous day. We took DAE to Sint Maarten when we went to Anguilla this past Aug. No comment on DAE.

Good luck with your travel plans. We spent 12 days in Dominica, beautiful. Two things on my must do list. The hike to Boiling Lake (you will have sore legs after, but glad you did it), and eat dinner at Sister Sea Lodge in the north. We stayed there and had fresh fish served on a banana leaf with all sorts of fresh fruit and chutney. Each meal was a masterpiece. They apologized when they had only lobster. Oh what a pity we had to settle for lobster that night. Enjoy.
