12 Days to Bonaire!

I just noticed the lawn is going to be very long when I get home. Oh well!

Mike have a great time. You will truly see why i love that place. And u will also see why it is so hard to not stay for a month at a time. Eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive sleep. Go to lac bay where they windsurf on your day before flying, and enjoy it there. Drink and eat your brains out.

Lawn had to wait. I couldn't confirm our Continental reservations this AM, because the call traffic was so heavy the switchboard wouldn't accept our calls.

This evening before I was going to go out and mow I finally got online, only to discovered that someone had miss spelled my name on the reservations! took me forever to get that corrected, and do the confirmation dance, but now I feel a lot more like opening one of the Arrogant Bastards I grabbed on the way home. Must have known this evening I was going to need to mellow a bit.

Oh well, soon I will be on Bonaire. As you said yesterday, Mike: it is all good. At least I think it was you! Dam, I need a vacation!

Mike, I located a couple more SB stickers. Bringing 1/2 doz. I hope it's OK w/ you, but I did the laminate thing that CoolTech suggested, on all 6, so they are waterproofed. If you want one as a regular sticker, you can cut the laminate at the edges, and peel off the back paper, but I will have them all ready for UW cameo appearances!

So is anyone going to be on island at 5am tomorrow. My traveling buddies flight got screwed up and I will be the first one of the merry band arriving. I have never been to bonaire and won't even know how to find the hotel transportation vehicle. I am sure I could figure it out but it would be nice to have someone to follow around.

I am sure there will be someone with a sign for the Plaza. If not just ask one of the people outside the exit from customs/baggage claims. Bonaire is a small place, and everyone knows everyone else. They will steer you to the person who will get you a ride to the Plaza. It would really take some doing to get lost!

See you Sunday!

Have a great week everyone!! We'll be a week behind you and just as excited as you guys are!

 

[gypsyjim]

We'll leave some Scubaboard stickers and a couple empties, just so you know we were there.

It really is. Bonaire is small, and it is really friendly. Not always well organized, but friendly.

I lived on guam for 2 years so I know small and unorganized. There are tons of divers waiting and I am sure at least one will be staying at the plaza.

For anyone who has a layover in ghouston, at terminal E near gate 3 the is a bar on the second floor that has Fat Tire on tap. I am happy and I will sleep fine on this red eye.
