Hi all, finally I finished my trip report! But,...it is at this moment only available in Dutch, on our website: www.vanveen-nl.com (report + pictures per day). I will translate it, resize the pictures and post it here too, but give me some time! It took me 2 days to sort all the pictures out (we had more than 700!), and 2 more days to complete the report. The report is about our whole trip, though (Curacao, Bonaire, St. Maarten, Saba and Miami). Do you want me to post it here completely, or shall I only post the report about Bonaire?

Wow, Karin!!! What a fantastic trip and report and photos. It is fabulous! You don't need to know how to read Dutch to figure out the trip...where, when, who, etc. I truly enjoyed sharing your family vacation...all of it! Thank you so much for letting us peek in on your fun. You did a fantastic job putting it all together. What a wonderful trip you all had. Carole

Karin, I agree with Carole, I was looking for words like Bonaire, Saba, St Maarten, Miami...LOL! You got some good pics of the planes landing at Sunset Bar. I have a few too that I will post later this week...truly amazing! Can't wait for the "English" version to hear what you have to say about it all!

That's what I call a trip report Karin. Very nice to read. Nice pic's. Since I lived in St Maarten (ON the beach in Philipsburg) I enjoyed that part too.
As far as I'm concerned, you don't have to translate yr report into Dutch :-)
Yr trip back from Miami to Amsterdam was very long. You could not fly direct?

Thanks guys, for your kind comments! I will make the translation though, surely for the Bonaire part, to share with everyone. I kept a diary during the vacation, added the pictures where they fit.
Yes Bob, our trip back was long! We could fly directly from Miami to Amsterdam, but since we had booked a package to and from St Maarten (with the other flights and stays as an addition) it would have costed 400 Euro per person extra!

€ 400 each seems like a good reason :-)
