Well there's something about being on Bonaire when the Weather Channel says it's 15 degrees F back home that for some reason or another makes being on Bonaire even more special.

Winter is cooler, summer is hotter. Just came back. The first week was unusually windy, thus a little cooler. The second week had less wind, so it was hotter even at night.

The only months we haven't been to Bonaire (not yet anyway) is February and August. The rest of the year was the same...give or take a shower or two...

I'm with CB...NOW! Seriously though, went over Thanksgiving and had no families and it wasn't crowded at all. We joked that all of the resorts had lounge chairs available because the few guests who were there were hard core divers. Same resort in early August and we were run over by European families on vacation. Got to go back May/June, different location, and it was not very crowded, but the winds were up which was a bummer because I wanted to shore dive the east side with Bas. Heading back this December and expect it to be crowded, at least Bonaire style crowded and that is more than acceptable! I do wish I could go back over Thanksgiving. So far that was the best combination, limited tourists, great weather....

Thanks so much everyone - I guess I am going to have to get planning! Its always nice to get away in March or Feb also so I guess we will have to travel there twice, dang! Now I am going to start an obnoxious thread called "really bad lodging experiences in Bonaire" I am sure that there are many great places to stay, I just want to ferret out the weasels so to speak....
