Ok, I have been procrastinating starting this, it just doesn't help my PBD! So, please let me know who you are, your dates of stay on the island, and where you are staying...and I'll begin the December spreadsheet

We'll be there Dec 3-17.
One diver, one Rotarian.
We're staying in a house down in Belnem.
Holly.

Cynde, Mark and I will be staying in a house outside of town from Dec 20th until Jan. 3rd. Our California daughter and her boyfriend will be there with us from Dec 19th until the 28th. Will you be on island in Dec? We have sent messages back and forth about California diving and I would love to say hello. Also, I sent you a private email a few weeks ago asking for your snail mail address so that I could send a donkey adoption check. Maybe you did not get it? You can send it to me via my email thru BT -- thanks! And thanks for doing the Dec list.
Susan

Hi Susan! Yes, I remember talking about California diving! Nope, we won't be on island in December. I have been making these spreadsheets every month for those that will be on island in case they want to get together with other BTalkers! I don't check my email as often as I should, so I'll email you again with my snail mail address! We are only $50.00 away from our goal of $600.00 for the Sanctuary!

I'll be there Dec. 28th to Jan 11. Staying at the Tropical Inn (it's a brand new, very small hotel located near the Caribbean Court)and diving with Photo tours. I'm travelling solo, and look forward to meeting some new "buddies".
Should I bring some Brownies???

Julie

Cynde

Sue & I will be there 21st to the 6th Jan at Cap'n Don's. We are really looking forward to diving on Christmas day.

Cynde, I will be at Divi Timeshare with Joann and Angie Vick from December 6-20th. Thanks

I will be back at the Divi from Dec 20th thru Jan 8th in the time share area. If anybody is willing to haul me down a six pak (or greater) of Miller Lite, I would be most appreciative (Freddie, are you coming back?)...As usual, I can be found most times, when not diving, on the KLM dock.

Gregg...one of these days you are going to suit up and get on that big ole 747 with the KLM crew! I can see you out there now on the dock making certain the ladies are not attacked by an stray iguanas.....awww, the chivalry! Carole

(PS I'm jealous...you're going back AGAIN! LOL

Carole,

alas, I must return...yes, just imagine me climbing on the MD-11 (wide body) wearing my red speedos, holding rum punches in each hand and cooler full of Miller lites on one shoulder and laptop/books on the other shoulder ... that's what its like on the KLM dock...I looked in the obits this morning and didn't see my name; life is grand

the iguanas...well, they taste like chicken...BTW, there are about 5 large ones now (iguanas) that hang out on the dock begging for food...they have been known to grab a toe

21 Nov - 3 Dec, staying with Coco Palm Garden.

Just a reminder for you all about our annual pot-luck BBQ at our house (home of the Bonaire WebCams) on January 1st, starting at 3pm. All are welcome. Also the one time a year we have an open house for people to dive the ReefCam and Small Wall from shore via our beach.

Jake

Hello!
The Ganderton Family - Jill, Rik, Nik (15) and Tom (13) will be on the island December 17th to Jan 4th, staying in Belnem. Can hardly wait!
Jake, any orders for anything from Toronto? President's Choice sauces again? Let me know which you like if so!
Cheers, Jill

Brian...you're going back so soon...hey, I'm NOT GREEN AT ALL WITH ENVY....REALLY!!!!

Jill, nice to see you are going back right when you have all that snow at home!

Please let me know if I've made any mistakes (apologies if I have)

OK folks, having technical problems here...either I'm just really tired, or having a brain cloud...I'll try posting the spreadsheet in the morning when I'm fresh

I posted a thread on here about putting together a December dinner and now I can't find it! But I will be in staying in Bon from Dec 5-18 at a friend's place.

Can't wait to see all my friends and have fun at the KOTC! Count me in for any dinners or snorkel companion...I know some great spots...wanna be adventurous with me??

And hey, my third time on Bon in a year and a half and I didn't know there was horse back riding?? And in the water yet?? Oh wow, I'm SO ready to go riding...gave away my horse about 12 yrs ago and miss her much!

Anyone see or talk to Bas anymore?? He's the best person to go exploring with!

Cynde

Sorry, it must be the lure of that warm water...

Mercy

We met met Bas in September at the Tuesday Gibi's meal, he took Freddie and George diving the next day.

Or more likely the lure of the cold Brights

Brian, water and brights...two of my favorite things...now throw a good meal in there and I'm a happy camper...just ask Michael or Kelly

OK, trying this again...Nope...didn't work. It is still coming in as an html file...hmmm...

Hi gang. Boat building season is winding down so we are back. Eva and Wally on island 25 Dec to 2 Jan.

Woohoo Wally and Eva...Super Blue Agents I'm adding you to the spreadsheet...hope I can get it to work right now!

Looks like it will be late Jan/early Feb for me! But hey, it is worth the wait...

My husband and I will be there from Dec.3 through Dec.13. I am an avid "reader" of BT, not so much of a contributor, though. This will be our 4th trip to Bonaire, thanks to all on this board who gave us great advice on planning this trip (it has been at least 6 years since our last dive trip there).

Jill - those sauces were all excellent (just had the Szechuan Satay Stir-Fry sauce last nice, as a matter of fact), so please surprise us! See you soon.

Jake

Jake, a surprise it shall be! Is there anything else we can try to fit in for you from Toronto?
We can hardly wait till Dec 17th; it's already snowy here!
Jill

OK, my spreadsheet wasn't working properly, so here it is in a word doc so you can print it out if you like

Let me know of any mistakes, or if I made any mistakes!

The Erhard's (Tom, Sue and Dan(13) and my brother David (Dec 20 - 27)) will be there Dec 20 - Jan 3 Staying in Hato (house first week and Black Durgon the second). Friends - The Palmer's (Tom, Chris, Kimberly(19) and Sarah(15)) Dec 24 - Jan 3 staying at the Plaza. Can't wait!!

Cynde, add Kathi and I to the BTers for December, as we will be there from Dec. 26th to January 4th. If there are any young singles, my son Tim, age 22, is what the young ladies deem a hottie. He's also a really good guy on top of that. Greg, I met you once in Bruce's dive shop a while back. Hope to meet you again.

Tom, you've been added...Jim, you and Kathi have been added...Have a great time, and think about July, it would be great to hook up again and dive and eat!
