Hello, my fellow Bonaire Lovers! I am trying to put together a little list of talkers who might like to meet for a cocktail and some laughs or dinner or something. So, if you will be on the island between the dates of Nov.21 and Dec.15, please leave your name and the dates you might be available to meet. I'll start.......

Jim and Margarite Hix; available to party any evening from Nov.4 until Nov.10

Did you mean Dec 4 to Dec 10? Or did you just get back form your trip a week ago?

Sorry, I could not resist.

We (Mike and Debbie) will be in Bonaire from Nov 25 to Dec 3. Staying at Lions Dive and diving with Bon Bini.

Departures

Annie,

Was your point to make sure we know where to go (or avoid) during J&M's visit? :-)

Linda and I will be around the whole time you are, but the week of Nov. 26 to Dec. 2 will be tight because my Mom's visiting (although she might actually enjoy going to a BonaireTalk dinner as long as you speak well of me :-) (Or, I guess, knowing my Mom, criticisms of me would be fine too (I just hope she doesn't read this!)).

We're busy on Thanksgiving (Nov. 28th), and there's a BT dinner at Garden Cafe on the 25th, and another at Hulandes Bar & Grill on Dec. 9th, but otherwise have no other evening engagements scheduled.

Jake

OOPS!!! Yes , I meant Dec. 4th-Dec.11th. Jake we'd like to come on the 9th....if we can figure out what month/day it is! margarite

John and Kate Allen

November 22nd to November 29th.
We are staying at the Plaza.
Contact us there or post something here today, Thursday the 21st, about meeting up. We plan to do a lot of stuff in Bonaire, but we can be flexible.

J & K

The Rincon Athletic Club will be on Bonaire from November 29th through December 6th. Staying at the SandDollar.

We have nothing planned except diving, Brights, Rincon, and diving. Typical week on Bonaire.....

Steve and I are staying at Belmar...Nov 22nd thru Nov 30th...will be at Garden Cafe on the 25th. Steve could use afternoon dive buddies..if anyone is interested...we are in room 22 at Belmar..

Joann Vick, her daughter Angie, and myself from Dec 7 to 21 and can't wait!!!! We are staying at the Divi.

Jake, I thought the BT dinner at Hullandes Grill is on Sunday the 8th of December?????

I think you may be right, Darlene. Sorry about the confusion!

Jake

Scott & Emi, Buddy Dive 22nd-29th. See you at the Garden Cafe!

Yes Darlene and Jake, the Hullandes Grill dinnner I have been organizing is on Dec 8,not the 9th. Anyone is invited as long as they tell me first....reserved the grill for 20 people. We are up to 17 people now!

And I will be on the island from Nov 29-Dec 22 so please include me in any fun...although I will be working at the KOTC windsurfing event and will have fun planned every night with Annie, but will be available before and after for anything.

I'm a snorkeler, so anyone that wants to do some surface skimming let me know! Darlene, Joann and I plan to do some fun snorkeling together.

The Garden Cafe is expecting 20 guests on Monday. There will be a speccial menu for nafl 15 plus drinks or you can order anything from the regular menu. I do love he Shorama (SP?). Also, they specialize in vegetarian dishes. They expect folks around 7..Mercy, we will miss you!

Thanks Michael. Darn! Just missing that dinner by a couple of days. But you'll soon see plenty of me over the next three weeks I'm sure!

Lisa and Richard
Only made about ten dives (Curacau last year)
Anyone to show more of Bonaire Dec 6 thru 16?
