FLIGHTS: Flew AA - 3 flights instead of the 4 scheduled on the way there. We arrived fine. Our luggage had a vacation of it's own. (It arrived 3 days later.) On the way home, only 1 day later.

Linda,,,sounds like you guys had a wonderful time...Wish we would have made Deb and Glenn's but Steve is very "antsy" on Vacation and wants to dive and dive..he barely talks to me...He has a very busy practice and likes to just "reflect" on vacation...He is social..but does not like to plan once on Bonaire...if we would have just run into each other he would be fine..but to plan on vacation!!!! ??? I lost my luggage...(just my clothes) the whole trip..my bags came back with me..but never made it from Montego Bay..I was in a turtle tee and I luckily had 2 outfits packed in carry on...underware shopping in Bonaire is not alot of fun....We bring food for the animals...dog/cat/bird seed..and buy carrots for the donkeys...I don't know what I would do if I didn't have an animal to feed! Very glad you had a good time....Hope we can run into you one day!

Great report Linda! I cringed at the shopping for undies part! You probably had to go to that shop at the north west end of the main street...eeewww. Almost better to go without :> The rules are: if you don't get captured on the cams, you must go back immediately! Had a great time with the two of you! Congrats on your OW Cert

Meryl & Deb, Yes, I had to do the "underwear" shopping thing. It was not a pretty sight! I'm not sure if we can bring bird seed from Canada, but I'll check for next time. We had gone to the Market, and walked around & around, and had hardly anything in our basket. I completely forgot about the carrots, while I was there. That's why the pop tarts. I picked them up at a little store. They worked in a pinch. Meryl, maybe someday we can "accidently", on purpose, run into each other on Bonaire. Deb, congrats to you as well! Linda

Congratulations to you and your hubby, Linda! So glad to see another pair of Bonaire addicts being hatched, too. I'll bet you are already planning your return trip, right? Carole

Great report Linda. All it takes is one trip to Bonaire and you're hooked. I just received a fare watcher alert and trying to figure out how I can get there again after I go back in February. Will try to make it again between May and July.

Thanks for the memories, Linda. I am also a recent Bonaire addict..and I did OW cert. at Toucan Diving at the Plaza also. Just HAVE to comment on Ramon; you are SO right about kind and handsome! :-) Thanks again for the report!

From what I understand it's tough to concentrate on the diving skills with Ramon. Sounds like he would be the perfect person to perform some rescue skills. :-)

By Linda Moore on Saturday, December 8, 2001 - 9:08 pm: |
Yes, rescue skills. Good idea. Ramon has lived in 12 countries, in 10 years. We did some chatting while Dale was off losing his way with the compass. He thinks he's going to stay in Bonaire. (That is unless I can entice him with a job offer here!) My children need to be certified!! We gave him a nice tip. Jane, are you planning to go back? Kay, You're lucky to be going back in February! Carole, I'm trying for March, but hubby wants to venture other places, as well. March, we will bring our children. Although, I would love for him to surprise me with a scuba weekend for my birthday in January! I don't think I can wait until March! P.S. All this talk about Ramon, and I forgot my password. I punched it in wrong, and had to go searching for the correct one! Linda
