This was our first trip to Bonaire. We have been to Cozumel (twice), Grand Cayman (twice), Ambergris Caye (Belize), Key Largo, and Anguilla. Bonaire truly is a Divers Paradise.

Thanks for the report, Marvin! So glad your first trip went so well and that you liked Bonaire so much you will return...that happens to most of us who venture to Bonaire....we just keep going back over and over again. Some lucky ones actually move there, too! Carole

Bonaire not beautiful? It takes a certain shift in how you look at things. I visited the high deserts in California, at first it was alien, not what I would call real nice looking. After a bit, it revealed itself to me. Same thing when I was in the arid part of New Mexico. Bonaire is is not green, granted, but has so much more to offer than just being green...oh oh, i think i am ranting...the hills, the cactus, the sky, the clouds, the starkness of the east coast, it is just incredible in its own way.

I think it's beautiful, too, Dean. We also love to go out to the high deserts of California in the Spring to see the flowers bloom and everything else. We love the way Bonaire looks.....I think Marvin does, too, but he is just letting "newbies" know what to expect...it is NOT plush, green overgrowth as in Hawaii or Jamaica, etc. Just fine with us! LOL. Carole

Thanks, Carol. You expressed my thoughts better than I did. Yes, we love Bonaire and will definitely plan to return. Perhaps 'unique' would be a better word to describe Bonaire. It is true that every place has its unique features. We lived in South Dakota for 8 1/2 years. Most people don't think of South Dakota as beautiful but it does have its own beauty - like Bonaire.

Yes, Ann. Bonaire certainly has a lot to offer. It's tough to leave after a week of total relaxation to return to the pressures and grind of the daily routine here in the States. We found the people in Bonaire very friendly, helpful, easy-going. We could learn a few lessons from them. We are already planning on a return trip.
