I just heard through the grapevine that Caribbean Travel and Life mag has started voting for their 2004 awards.

Bonaire is up for a couple awards plus there are write-in opportunities.
My favorite question?
Where have you met the Caribbean's friendliest people?

Linda, hmmm....friendliest people...hmmm...that would be ummm...BONAIRE

I couldn't resist :-)
At the very least, the friendliest people on the internet.

I wrote in Bonaire on almost everything.

Linda, the friendliest of anywhere I've been.

Kelly, I wrote in Bonarie on most of them too! LOL! But the locals on Bonaire are also the friendliest I think. Everyone is always very nice

I, too, entered Bonaire for just about every category listed on the questionnaire! Of course.....Carole

Well the friendliest are surely here on BT..but my overall experience truly was on Montserrat...such LOVELY people ...man, that island was incredible..

Mother nature reclaimed her, alas. Carole

Hi Ann,
I loved Montserrat too. I was fortunate enough to spend two weeks in a villa there in 1987. I have a story:

My father and I were in the car driving along these very twisty mountain roads when we came across this lady hitchhiking. She was old enough to be Moses's grandmother...we stopped to give her a ride. She said she was going home, so we asked her to direct us. She led us to a "take-out" fried chicken shack, then to the post-office and then to a roadside vegetable seller finally she showed us where she lived and we dropped her off very close to where we had picked her up in the first place.

It was soooo funny, she got us to drive her around for all her errands. She was very cute! We didn't care, we were on holiday!

Thanks for reminding me of this Ann, great memories!

Cool

I have added my entry. Bon


Montserrat I thought they had a lot of Volcanic activity as the island is on a subduction zone where two plates meet. This makes them vunerable to pyroclastic flows? (This is what destroyed Pompeii)

Sure does not sound like heaven to me.

Slightly tongue in cheek.

I cast my vote Linda!

Also your flamingo print got rave reviews by the greater salt Lake society of women engineers last weekend when they were in our home.
