Bonaire May 20 - 27

[seagull]

First Bonaire trip for my wife and me, will be staying at Capt. Don's and celebrating our 25 th wedding anniversary on May 22. She is enrolled in the Nikon School of Underwater Photograhy for that week, so we should end up with some good photos, I hope. The class used to be held on Cayman Brac, but recently changed to Bonaire and I have been lurking and gathering info since we found this out. Decided not to post to early about our trip, because it would just make the wait that much longer and pretty much all the info I wanted was here already. Now all we need is our passports in hand, because they have not finish processing them yet and may have to visit a passport office Friday afternoon if they are not finish by today.

Have a dive circus. Captain Don's is great, I love their restaurant and you meet Charlie every day.

Have fun. I am looking forward to your trip report when you return to help me plan for my trip the following week. I think I have PBD. Pre-Bonaire Disorder.

Forgot to mention, we met a wonderful woman named Dee Scarr with Touch the Sea (http://www.touchthesea.com/) who helped us out at the airport. She called Capt. Don's and found out no one was comming to pick us up and she offered to give us a lift since she lives just past here, other option was to take a taxi.
