Flying in on AA, would have done Newark, CO, but with this time of year, went with AA.

Becky,
If my math is right, it appears you'll be arriving the day after we leave. "Bummer!" as Jean said.

143 days to go - YIKES - I have so much more time to enjoy my anticipation than you all.

Let's see tomorrow I can make a packing list, the next day I can shop for summer clothes, the next day I can redo my packing list, the next day I can look back at old Bonaire vacation pictures, the next day I can redo my packing list, on and on. Just kidding. But I do enjoy the anticipation.

Gosh, I just did the math and I've got 265 days to go.

May sound anal, but I word processed a check list a few years ago that I keep on my computer. Also, I never have to pack toiletries. I keep a complete second set packed, and ready to go. Never take dress clothes or long pants. Only shorts and summer shirts.

Tad, plenty of time to review and update the computer check list for your trip, maybe add some photos, cip art, etc :-) Maybe if you review it now, you'll find an excuse to go shop at your lds. Maybe flag a date on your computer at which time you'll have your dive gear checked out .. so much to do to enjoy the anticipation :-)

Denise....I like it!! Add some pics to my list, maybe a screen saver with a Bonaire countdown....Hey!! How about setting up some automatic emails to myself about things to do by this date, that date, etc.!!!

I think I feel an anal-retentive obsessive-compulsive episode coming on!!

Tad, ROFL .. I like the automatic emails idea!

Let's see - clean house? or do something to prepare for Bonaire? do our taxes? or do something to prepare for Bonaire? go do groceries? or do something to prepare for Bonaire? Oh so much to do, so little time - Ha!

constance, i'm thinking of calling pasa bon from san juan once i know our flight will be on time. our neighbors are taking great care of us this trip. they have beer and diet coke for the fridge and are leaving our truck at the airport for us. we'll get our luggage (hopefully), head to pasa bon, take the pizza back to our place, and have beer and pizza while we're unpacking. but you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men.

see you in three weeks. say hi to lee.

Hey guys,

Been in WV for a few days. My Bonaire countdown starts May 10. Heading down Oct 25. I'm in the middle of one to Grand Cayman May 3rd. I do have a couple of loves down south, in addition to Bonaire!

Anyway, are you feeling overwhelmed trying to remember to pack this, or do that, prior to a Caribbean dive vacation? No small bills for tips? Forget one of the several headphone sets you have already purchased on prior flights? Ever get back and say "Where in the hell did I park the car"?

I'm here to help! With the patented ScubaCat Checklist System you too!! can breeze thru the ticket counter and security, not worry about forgotten or overweight luggage, or have the TSA comment on your smelly feet!! Are you ready to change your life!!

For only $19.95, I'll send you the complete ScubaCat package. Call right now, and I'll include a ScubaCat Tank Banger as well! It's stainless steel and fireproof! AND.......It's MultiUse!! Use it as a screwdriver, or at dinner!! It looks and feels like an everyday butter knife, but it's so much more!!

But WAIT.....I'm not through!! Call right now, and I'll send you not one, but TWO!! ScubaCat Tank Bangers at no extra charge!!

This offer is not available in stores, but of course..........retails for over a hundred bucks!!

Call Now!! Quantities are limited!!
