I have heard that the Bonaire National Marine Park fee is going up from $10 to $25 on April 1. Is that true? While I a huge supporter of the Park and all the fine conservation work they do, a 2.5-fold increase in fees seems like a big jump. Not that much considering my total vacation budget, but it will be an increase from $50 to $125 for my family. Have they offered an explanation as to why that increase is necessary? Does it have to do with declining numbers of tourist-divers?

See http://www.oldbonairetalk.com/newsgroup/messages/30/209249.html

And before you get your panties in a bunch, read Jack Chalk's reply and Jake's comments. Also, there was a letter from STINAPA in this week's Bonaire Reporter (it's online, but to read this weeks you have to subscribe).

No panty-bunching going on here, ma'am. I just asked a simple question. Sorry that I missed the previous thread in January.

John,
I think she jumped in with her panties in a bunch. Have a great day!

John, I wasn't giving you a hard time - it was a fair question, but it had been answered (though there had been some rancor in the other thread; which is mainly what I was referring to) and I was pointing you to it.

Ida - please keep your own panties unbunched, and do not make assumptions.

Susan,

You have a great day also. You sound like you need a break.

I've always heard the British version:
Getting your knickers in a twist.

How about if you didn't wear panties or knickers or boxers... would you be sucking air?

Explanation:
411 is for information;
511 is too much information.

That's always my excuse "Eva told me to". Unfortunately everybody knows it's not true...can't get away with anything around here.
