I think it's about time to finish this up, and put behind me my embarrassment at being so late (I only got back two months ago, after all ...)

Josie..great to read your final episode..eating your breakfast on the beach reminds me of the same thing we did while we waited for the plane to depart..checked in our luggage and then walked over to the beach with a breakfast of fruit and leftovers from the apartment I had packed the night before..good way to say hello to the sunrise and goodbye to the island...also take advantage of the huge iguanna photo op at the airport while waiting....that has been a nice addition to the airport..we just had a visitor here from Bonaire and enjoyed showing Vermont off..too bad a bit chilly..but had fun..especially shopping and hiking

I loved reading about your sunrise pb&j at Donkey Beach..Mags and I arrived at our last AA flight at 4 (after I spent the whole night dancing/playing in town ..I NEVER do this at home)..came to Divi, paid the babysitter and we were off after a quick shower. After checking in, at 4:20 we drove back to town to Julia's Place (across from Maduro) and hung with the locals who had just finished partying..had a breakfast packed for the plane..they even let us cut in line so we could get back on time..at 5 AM we returned and some folks were STILL checking in as late as 5:15 and getting on!!

Annie, Take the plunge! I was not a strong swimmer, and hated to have my head under water. My husband and teenagers wanted to become certified during a vacation in the Keys several years ago, and I took the course with them just to know what they'd be talking about - but I never expected to make it through myself. Thanks to a wonderfully patient instructor, I was certified along with them. So far, I've only dove the Keys, Bimini in the Bahama's, Southeast Florida, and of course Beautiful Bonaire! But Bonaire is absolutely the perfect place for a "timid" student to be certified. The diving is awesome. I'll be back on Bonaire the second week in July, and hope to log my 100th dive then. If I can do it, ANYONE can! Good luck! Gail

...Josie, NO WAY is this the "Final" episode - just the end of this mini-series :-) You also inspire me...someday I, too, will take the plunge. Looking forward to your Bali report.

Josie, good stuff...

Oh, of course, I forgot something: I'd wanted to mention that Bonaire Town Homes has a great set up outside for washing/hanging up dive gear, and even clothes lines. I pack LIGHT andtake little in the way of clothing, and wash out something every day or so and hang out to dry.
