I just read in the Feb. 3, 2000 edition of the St. Maarten Daily Herald (the only large English language newspaper in the Netherlands Antilles) that last Friday (the 2nd) the Council of Ministers of the Netherlands Antilles "approved American Eagle fliths between Bonaire and Aruba" and "Bonaire wants to be a dual destination, offering tourists vacationing in Aruba a chance to go to Bonaire for a small amount. Negotiations with Air ALM to fly this route were unsuccessful."

Sounds like it might help out a lot of folks who need to get to Bonaire, but I hope it does not "encourage" folks who love the "Aruba" type experience to start visiting Bonaire. It is was that sort of "atmosphere" and multitude of crowds after over twelve years of our visiting Aruba that peaked our interests in visiting Bonaire. Two different worlds...hope it remains that way, too. Call me selfish. Call me closed-minded......it's OK...we just love Bonaire the way she is now...don't want to see her change TOO much....Aruba most likely looked like Bonaire fifty years ago...now look at her.(Aruba) Shame and a pity.

As far as I know, there are still active plans going on to create an inter-island (Bonaire, Aruba, Curacao) air line based in Bonaire.
