In the middle of all the bad stuff that is being communicated about the attacks - I wanted to bring a bit of good news to everyone's attention.

I too had similar good experiences in my recent visit to Bonaire. Some how, my brain must have been on over load - or maybe just out to lunch as I enjoyed just being on Bonaire, because it seemed that every day I left something of value behind and each time I walked back each thing "lost" was still there. This includes leaving my uw camera and housing in the dunk tank on the Divi dock a couple of times, leaving my camera on the table in the Divi business center, leaving my fleece skin on the rail outside the DePalm gift shop a the Divi, leaving my gear all sitting outside the Divi business center another time... Each time I either got all the way to my room at the Dive Inn and quickly walked back, or at least walked half way to the room and walked back. Nothing lost :-) Not to downplay the serious crime issues on Bonaire, but good to remember the nice and honest people there as well.....

My first trip to Bon in 2001, I was leaving the Cultimara store after picking up some goodies, was attaching the bag to my little motor scooter and a young lad came running after me. Before my natural "Chicago" defense mechanisms could kick in, he handed me some paper money I had dropped on my way out. I think it was a 5 or 10 guilder note. Needless to say I fully thanked the lad and gave him the note as HIS reward for being a "good guy" and doing the "right" thing.
