Air - Flew AJ from Newark, NJ to Jamaica were we bought Jamaican coffee and flew to Bonaire without problems. The return flight was 1 1/2 hours late from Jamaica to Bonaire, so we arrived in Jamaica late but the plane to NJ with angry people was held for us.

Divi - Stayed in our time share @ the Divi for two weeks. The new manager wasn't there so we didn't meet him. The dive deck is great as well as the new dock and lockers! Roger has set up the new tech diving section @ Divi Dive.

Diving - It was great! The weather was hot as well as the water. It was t - shirt diving time! Completed the National Geographic Diving Course with Geertje and did a night dive with her @ the Town Pier where we saw a large decorator crab. Dove 3 or 4 times a day, usually boat dives. Dove the Hooker a few times, and mostly Klein and North. Thermoclines were felt and we had to do a drift dive in the south. Saw a lot including a coranet fish, squid, "dice" and baby trunkfish with faces, many seahorses in different colors ( DM Enrique is great @ finding seahorses; he found 6 on one dive so good thing we were shooting digital.) Saw a red frog fish. Saw several yellow frog fishes @ Calabas as well as an eagle ray! Saw a nice channel crab @ Nearest Point on Klein. Went diving with Larry and friends on the East side and had a good time as always. I like the boat ride! Saw eels, turtles, eagle rays, many large tarpons etc. Did get to dive with Kelly @ Calabas in our Dive Goddesses' skins. (Our pictures will be posted on their web site soon.) We left a copy of our DVD from our Truk Lagoon Aggressor trip in the Divi Dive shop on top of the TV so if anyone wants to see it during a surface interval, just sit down and enjoy it.

Restaurants - Food was very good @ Capriccio, Mona Lisa, Richards, Casablanca, Bistro de Paris, La Flamboyant, La Guernica, Chibi Chibi and It Rains Fishes. Enjoyed many nice nights with old friends and new ones. After diving with Larry, the group went to Jibe City (first visit for us) and had a good time with friends, food and drinks.

Pictures - Took many! Some of the pictures are on our web site http://homepage.mac.com/j.ciurczak

The two weeks went by very fast. Saw a few old friends and met new ones. There was too much fun and not enough time!

Until next time...


We love our island!

Great report, Sue !! I so enjoyed hanging out with you two. Your timeshare is fantastic. Thanks for taking me on a dive and for the great pictures. Hope to see you both VERY soon.

How I met Sue: At Richards we were leaving and chatting with Richard, and Sue came up to me and said, "are you Kelly?"... uhhhh yeah.... "THE Kelly??" ... uhhh, I think so... lol. Steve was very impressed that his wife was THE Kelly. lmao

maybe she saw the tee-shirts from your birthday party. i know i was impressed.

Thanks for the excellent report and for providing us with the link to your wonderful photos.

It was a proud day for my husband. Poor Steve.
