herman:Hi Aaron,
We only shore dove this trip so I missed the mushroom forest. This trip was as much a scouting trip as a dive trip. We were very pleased with the restaurants we found. Although I have not found anything to rival the mixed grill for 2 at Casablanca we did eat a quite a few good places. One place that impressed me more for the service than anything was a Steak and Rib place in the fort. We travel with 2 vegaterians (health choice, not anti meat type) whos son wanted to eat at the Steak and Rib place. After checking the menu we found nothing that my friends could eat. The owner came over and finding out my friends were vegaterians he offered to custom make dinner for them. They had a great meal and so did the rest of us. This is the service I have come to expect in Bonaire and we found it in Curacao as well. I know I upset some people with my comments on Cozumel but no where in Coz came close to the quality of the food or service we found in Curacao. We stayed near down town so we walked to almost every place we ate. There is an old fort at the mouth of the harbor by the Queen Emma bridge that had several good places. If they are handing out the goodie bag at the airport, be sure to get one. There is a very good restaurant guide inside.
Let me know on the Bonaire trip I may just join you. Do you mean Dec 05/ Jan 06 time frame?
As for the City Cafe having the best burger....well if you take away the totally unfair advantage of the view, there is one here in Raleigh that is a little better than the City Cafe's but CC does have the second best burger I know of, even with out the view.
Thanks for the info on Curacao

we are going to go to Hawaii this year we have free airfare there that we have to use in the next year so we chose there. We were limited on places to go with this package my wife got. She graduated with honors with a masters degree and some national honor society that only accepts so many people a year accepted her and gave us a free package. Some of the places we have to pay for the room but they will pick up all the air fare. They had Hawaii, St Johns Cancun and a bunch of non diving places in the U.S. So we were thinking since Hawaii was the most expensive place in their list thats where we'll head. We were thinking that curacao might be a good place to go on another trip mabe in sept or oct for my graduation from school.
Well i will have to try to get there to try that burger if it is better than CCs.
