Hi
So here is day one:
Flew in on Cont. which arrived an hour late due to a problem with one of the bathrooms. Then when we arrived there was a problem with either the stairs or opening the door and we were stuck in the plane for about 20min. After we arrived they unloaded a small amount of luggage and then nothing for over 45min. They had us all very worried. In fact some of the passengers started walking back out to the airplane and got in trouble. Then all are bags were delivered with no trouble.
We got picked up by total car rental and taken to the Plaza so we could pick up our truck. Then we drove to Den Laman where the nice lady in the office was worried about us. We checked in and were surprised that are room was available which was very nice as we were very tired. The rooms there are great. Very nice, clean, modern with a great view of the water. Ocean front is ocean front. The only draw back to the room is the beds. Hard as a rock. I think its the bed spring and they forgot the mattress. If they fixed the beds then the rooms would be perfect.

We signed up with the dive shop and I sat through the orientation meeting. We have been to Bonaire 6-7 times so nothing new in the meeting. We were to tired to dive that day and took a nap for the afternoon. Then we went grocery shopping at the
market in town.

Took my daughter snorkeling in the
late afternoon and then had dinner at the
Den Laman Restaurant. It is a nice place with good food and I am always surprised that no one eats there. There was only one other couple there when we ate. One thing they could do better. while we were enjoying the night air and the sunset the staff were all behind the bar yelling and talking very loudly to each other which was very rude to the guests. Very unprofessional conduct.
