And where did you get the Shrimp Pizza and Onion rings? Looks delicious!

We did the turtle thing with Jeannie a year ago. It was a wonderful experience. She drives you to an area on the east side where you learn to dig out "dormant" turtle nests -- in order to locate any struggling runts and/or remaining eggs that can later be given a better chance to hatch. It's a...

Walk 12 blocks north on Melgar (main waterfront Boulevard) and there's a 2 story thatched roof place on the water called El Bungalow. It has a nice, small quiet beach next to it on the north side. Totally free and safe. Open to public, no currents -- and you've got food, drink and banos for your...

Well -- I gave it a try myself based upon your suggestion. And, I liked it too. Nice breezy read. I've been to Bonaire and Saba multiple times and the descriptions of the diving, locations, topside, etc. are are all very accurate and fun to read about. Realistic, but predictable plot...

In the current (May 14) issue of Bloomberg Business Week on page 72, it says that American is beginning Daily non-stops from Miami to Bonaire starting in June. Maybe that's putting some downward pressure on fares.

Yup - if we're seated side by side, since when does YOUR fear of flying outweigh MY fear of being bitten?

Yup - Have to agree. This situation is positively screaming: "Disney Cruise".

2 blocks east of the waterfront and 2 blocks south of the Plaza? That's not what I'd consider to be "... in the hood".

Yup. I read it too. Good story that moves along well. Even bought a second copy and had it sent to a good friend who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. It helped me a lot in my understanding of his condition. Thanks for the honest sharing of your odyssey. Without giving anything away, it...

And if the site you wish to dive already has 6 boats over it who are dropping their divers when you arrive, do you REALLY want to be on the tail end of THAT mob rush? I'd prefer to be flexible in such an instance. And, yes, it occurs all the time in Coz.

We stay at Casa Mexicana and have had good luck grabbing wood fired pizzas and salads from Rolandi's about 7 blocks south on Melgar at the light. Any menu item can be ordered to go. They stay open until Midnight according to their website. Fast, efficient and good quality. Works for us on those...

We will overlap Nov. 5th-7th. My ND Wife and I have had an eye on the Suites for an extended stay vs. the 1-2 week quick hitters at Casa Mex. We'll be curious to hear how you like the place and for any insights gained. Look forward to meeting you at 3P. -Carl and Sally

Wouldn't it be cheaper to refurbish it?

Glad to hear it all went according to plan for you. Wife and I drove up to Douglas, WY @6AM Sunday morning from Boulder. 3 hour drive -- minimal traffic. Spent the night at the Sleep Inn which we'd booked back in February. Headed south and west of town around 9AM onto a quiet dirt road within a...

Yeah - but the bottle they pour from may have been replenished with liquids that don't quite match what's on the label. It became such a scandal in the wine trade that it is now common practice for restaurants to destroy expensive bottles of wine after they are served so that they can't be...

Unfortunately, Eugene isn't in the path of totality. You'll have to hit to join the masses on I-5 up to Salem if you want to catch the real show.

Hey - me too! Nov. 4-18. First week with ND Wife while diving with my daughter and her new husband (great guy). Second week just me and my son. Casa Mex and Tres P's -- as always. Can't wait.

I've got 2 of these and have been using them for the past 5 years. 4 - AA batteries, 50 hour burn time, nice focused LED beam. Perfect for night diving and peering into holes during the day. Never had a leak and I've routinely been below 100' with them. Last pocket light you'll ever need to buy...

What's the best place to fly to from the western US?
