Yes we are. We'll be there Feb 8. Do you want me to get some candy hearts with those sayings on them? If so, how many.

Hi Michael, I am arriving on my first trip to Bonaire on Feb 9th around 3PM with a group from Raleigh, NC. I've been reading this site for weeks and it has been very helpful in planning and also in keeping me overly excited about the trip. I'd be happy to bring the candy you need, if you'll let me know quantity and type. I think chocolate might not travel that well if packed, and if I carry it on Sandra will eat it all before we get out of US airspace. However, I will bring whatever you'd like. We're staying at Buddy's so you can get pick it up whenever is convenient.

Just happy to help in our small way. Our BT friends are very special. It's not like our other vacations where you meet people but will probably never see them again in our life times. Until we came to Bonaire. Everyone is very wonderful, helpful, accomadating. We consider some our dear friends. Especially, Pat and Mary Murphy who we met on Bonaire last year and had them to our home this past summer. Can't wait to see them again. Great Bonaire People! What can I say.

Forgot to mention how helpful Michael at Chat - N= Browse is. We'll carry anything down for him. He probably doesn't even remember us. We remember him and how helpful is was.

Okay..There are 24 kids in Emily's class and it would be great if we had an assortment so her mom could put up some baggies. I remember from my youth (oh so long ago) that we used to get these sickeningly sweet little hearts with drippy sayings..I am falling for you, be my valentine, etc. That sort of thing would be just great. Anyone staying at Buddys, I am sure that you will be passing by for an ice cream at lovers, etc. if you could stop in at Chat n Browse, it would be nice to meet you. Alas, the Candy Barrel is long gone from Bonaire. Maybe, I should not lament its passing..it was addictive...

OK, I got some chocolate hearts and Tootsie Rolls with "Fun messages on every wrapper!" I also got 60 of the cello candy bags with hearts and things on them. So, Marge and I can put all this loot together and Emily will be a HAPPY girl!!

This is funny. It all stated because I asked Mike about getting some boxes of those little conversation hearts for Emily's class on Valentine's day (a tradition that I always did when I was a kid) to go with little cards she wanted to make for her friends. Thank you, Mike!

By Rona (BonaireTalker - Post #86) on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - 8:46 pm: |
I think the dental care question is a good one to ask at this point after looking at that LIST of candy!! Maybe we should move away from the candy and onto non-edibles... stickers for example. Of course this is MOM speaking and not Emily

I must admit I was tempted but resisted and was happy when Rona removed all the candy. I think a group hug should go to all those who packed candy instead of clothes especially to Peggie Sue who had to wear the same outfit everyday..just kidding. Again, I was just happy that we could bring a few smiles to some little faces. Now be prepared for the sugar rush.
