I am going to try and add a few pictures, more to come if I get this right as this will be the first time adding them to this forum...on to the actual report:

We landed 2.5hours late, much to our chagrin. We sat in SJU for the whole time extra due to some mechanical issue with the turboprop, yet there were a dozen others on the tarmac sitting idle. I personally, being in the travel biz, think they had crew issues but who cares we had a 4 hour layover and were going to Bonaire, not BFE! We got in and to our condo at the Bellafonte, more on that place later, and promptly shared a bottle of wine and watched the light rain on the sea that was lit up by the hotel. Beautiful.

Next morning Liz and I drove to Phototours at the Caribbean Court, got situated, and went for our checkout dive at the Yellowsub reef. Nice dive for the first one but itching to hit some of our favorite sites.

That afternoon we went south to Atlantis and had a close encounter of the spotted eagleray kind.

Five foot wingspan:\image

I will cover the rest of the trip once I make certain this picture uploaded etc. So look for blog II.

Cheers,

John

This seems to have worked now that I am getting the hang of it. I guess I will try and shrink my photos as they are all around 150k not 50k...

...more to come!
