I wrote the number 66 in big red numbers on the white board in my office. It was official the countdown had started. My brother Dave and I had agreed, the count down couldn’t officially start until the tickets were bought and we had our seats on the plane.

Good morning all, First time poster here. 10 more days to diving in paradise. This will be our 3rd time in Bonaire spending 2 weeks this time, we feel like it is home away from home. Can't hardly contain myself.
|
By Cecil (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #6761) on Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 12:14 pm: |
Welcome to BT, Arnita. About time to come out of lurkerdom. Have a great time on Bonaire and we except daily updates with lots of pictures, because we have no life when not on Bonaire .

I'm down to 21 days... Lover's Strawberry Ice Cream... Feet up with a bucket of Brights... Great diving...
|
By Arnita (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #4) on Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 3:37 pm: |
Cecil - not sure about daily updates, we are taking the computer but not sure if we will be on-line. I will check with Michael, I believe that is his name, at the chat n browse but we are computer slow (illiterate)about some things. Definitely a trip report when we get back.
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #338) on Saturday, August 23, 2008 - 12:04 pm: |
2 weeks from right now, we will be having lunch on our SandDollar veranda, fresh from our orientation dive, deciding which spot to do next...

Sounds like you won't need any practice, just some good wetsuit shampoo for after your dives! Otherwise, you are going to smell like.... P.

Good monday to all. 5 more days to dive, dive, dive for two weeks. Question - Does anyone know of a hotel or motel in Bonaire that was bought recently by a woman from the Kansas City Missouri area? We would like to look her up next week to say "that a girl" and check out her place for future stays. Have a great week and don't forget to think about me next week in paradise. Am I rubbing it in? YES!!! hehe.
