Hello again and greetings from New York! Because I received such awesome feedback from many of you on my very first posting, I thought that I'd tap you once again for your advice.

Tim, as you said, any time is a great time. We've been there in March and April/May, and are booked for an early November trip. You'll love it; someone else will have to be more helpful here.

I use Kim at Caradonna and she always finds me good deals for Bonaire! Her email is kim@caradonna.com. I have been to Bonaire in January, February and September and will be going to the Divi Flamingo in December. They were all good weather but September was a lot more humid and a lot hotter. I live in the water anyway, so how hot it gets doesn't much matter to me!

Hi Tim, I'm fairly new to posting on this board myself. I've been to Bonaire 2 times, once mid September and once at the begining of December. I'm going back at the end of September this year. Both times I stayed at Captain Don's Habitat, and thats where I'm staying this time too. I go with a group from Hampton Dive Center which is in the Flanders/Riverhead area. They usually have a few trips each year to Bonaire. I think it costs about $1400 ( you could check at www.Hamptondive.com)and it includes airfare, accommodations, breakfast, 6 (?) boat dives and all the shore diving you can do. The trip in September is already fully booked. My dive trips have been the BEST vacations I've ever had.

If you don't mind the daytime temps being mighty toasty warm, you might consider going in October during Regatta. Regatta's a lot of fun in and of itself, and the grand party that runs in Kralendijk for the entire week isn't too bad, either!

Meryl-- Have you booked your airfare for Thanksgiving? The rates out of Boston are extremely high--- and that is if you can get a seat-- Booked this past Saturday-- But are using miles for tickets in Feb-- so it evened itself out
