I'm a diver, but an even more serious tennis player. My husband just had a cortisone shot for a sore elbow and will be unable to play while we are on island from 11/18 - 11/16. (Doctor said to take a month off.)

Carol, I'm going to move this to Local Items as you will most likely get a better response there. I do know that there are tennis clubs on Bonaire. Good luck and have a great trip.

Talk to the pro, Elisabeth, at Harbor Village, once you're on island. There's quite a hard-core tennis community here (they play mostly at night, 6-10pm-ish)--if you drink beer, you'll fit in even better. There's no official "league" scheduled playing like in the US; the informality is part of the island charm.

Well, I should know...one of my kinder nick-names for my husband is 'tennis-whore' (he'll do just about anything to support his tennis habit).

Carol you can ignore Jon, he's generally nuts, or plotzed, or both.

Jon probably knows that when a woman plays tennis 4 or 5 times a week, she's fit.

Hi Seb--the TW is still asleep, after a long weekend playing in Aruba (Bonaire brought home 14 trophies; not him though, thank goodness-those things are hideous!).
