Tomorrow this time, we will be somewhere above the Atlantic (I hope).
My wife Mieke is doing the last shopping, my sons, Sander and Niels, are off buying some more T-shirts and I've just done the garden. Almost everything is packed. The newspapers expect the busiest day ever on Schiphol, Amsterdam Airport tomorrow, so we will be leaving early. We will be trying to get access to a local POP on Bonaire, if that works I will upload some photos over the next 3 weeks.

See you there!

Bert

Have a great trip


First light

Strange the way the light goes from blue to red.

Have a great trip Bert! Good Morning Brian and Everyone.


Sarge is hanging out. And it is also raining over here.

Bert, I hope you and your family have a fun and safe holiday. Look forward to your post.

Eileen, Lazy rainy day here as well.

Morning all.

Hello Tom!
Sarge is back again looks like with a buddy Sarge.

Thanks folks.
Everything is packed now, camera's, dive gear, the lot. All that rests is waiting.... :|

Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Started off sunny here, but clouding over a little now. Bert. Hope you have a wonderful trip. Annie B.

Good Morning Annie B!

Wish I was here!

We all do Eileen.

My fellow Cabot Cheese Ambassador, Susan Taft and her husband Mark have been on Bonaire since the 21st and are there until the 19th of August.

Since they have been missing (I am sure) this rainy weather I just sent this e-mail to my friends at WDB:

"Hello Folks,

If anyone there sees Mark and Susan Taft today, throw a pail of water or spray them with your hose for me.

It has rained most of the time they have been on Bonaire and I do not want them to get homesick - HA!!!

You can tell them it was a "Special Delivery" from Cabot, they will understand:-{)}"

I sure hope it makes them happy;-{)}

If Bart or Bob does it, I will be ROTFLMAO. Probably to the point of "messing myself"!

Divers came by. Shame they didn't say hello.



Eileen. Anything special going on today for you?Annie B.

I am going up to visit my sister-in-laws just for a little bit anyway. Quinn can hang out with other 2 Aunt's. I am way behind in getting ready today! LOL!! Anything for you?

Yes Eileen. Gave the old white bench a new coat of paint. Did the chimnea too with some bbq paint. Exciting stuff. LOL. Hope you have a good day. Annie B.

Now surely this can't be Kathy so soon, can it??

Great Pic though!! I am off visiting now. Have a great afternoon all!

Great picture. Have a great afternoon Eileen. I just got back from Coaches training and it's pouring rain here. I needed to look at some beautiful sunny Bonaire pictures to get me movin today.

Bye Eileen. Hope you have a nice time.



Lisa. I wish I could send you some of my sunshine. Annie B.

A little cutie.

Bert, have a safe trip and enjoy your stay!

For all the regulars (and long-timers here), I had a strange thing happening on the way home from work yesterday. I was driving on the highway, looking to a car I overtook. I thought that's a familiar face, so I let the other car overtake me again. Yes a familiar face indeed... I went after the car, gave a signal with my horn and waved to the driver... It was Bas (indeed, big Bas, from across the street at the old place of Jake and Linda. He is on a holiday trip here, leaving in a few days again.

Strange encounters you can have on the highway...

WOW!

It's a small world Martin!
Hello all, haven't been posting much lately, but I do lurk, no worries, can't do without this:

or this:

not a single day!
Fred and I have been to the Summercarnaval in Rotterdam today, it was great, will post some pics on CC in a few minutes.

Karen, it sure is...

You've been here? Where do you live? I just might have seen you on the streets when I was coming home after diving...

Martin, as I told you in CC, I live near Den Haag, so pretty close, but I work in Rotterdam, so we might in fact have met,....
sigh

PBD BIG time...

Wow, Martin. What a coincidence that was. A great encounter indeed. Annie B.

Fighting for cam space here.

I just logged on, WOW!!!!

I wish I was those people watching the sunset (in first pic)



I had a great day today, we all gave ourselves pedicures and manicures and took turns with Quinn. Quinn enjoyed his time with his Aunts.

Just beautiful.

Hello all, and this also is a goodnight post :o)
I didn't show up till now cause I ... didn't find the time. Truth, folks : airport for work and then Jean Paul picked me up to our astronomy club, and we just returned right now. I just wish to go to bed, another hard day is waiting with @¤{#! airline tomorrow !
Bert, I wish you a nice flight, you must be on your way at this time.
Martin, what a nice surprise, I wish this could happen to me.
Still no Barbara on the cam today :o( , maybe tomorrow with Kathy :o) , and a alltogether meeting at Bongo's :o)))
Good night gang, truly time to go to bed now.

I just realized now Martin, wow, I love it when things like that happen!

Great shot Eileen. Looks like a Tarpon to me. Glad you had a lovely day.

Goodnight Martine. I am going to bed now too. I have been sitting in the garden, in the cool evening air with candles burning all around. Annie B.

See you all tomorrow.

Goodnight Martine! Sounds beautiful Annie B!

Here's an enhanced version of the Tarpon.

Martin, I can't believe you ran into BAS ! That's so funny !!! I bet he was surprised to see you as well...

Martin - just catching up on the weekend's threads and your story brought a smile to my face - what a small world we live in - TOO COOL that you ran into Bas!!!!

Eileen great capture of the Tarpon - Cecil - thanks for your excellent work in enhancing it. That reminds me - Jake brought your capture of the ray to Bongo's to show it off to everyone. First words out of my mouth was -It must have been Cecil who made it clearer for view!!!!

It sure was a surprise to see him on the Highway, We were both kinda surprised to "run into" each other... I called Angela and let Bas do the talking, she didn't knew at first who he was, that was a nice conversation...
