I see that you have posted your question in various places, but if you do a search for "Gibis" you might get some more answers.

Oh! And you're from Ohio! I knew I liked you... where are you geographically? I'm not sure where Conneaut it located. I am about 30 miles east of Columbus.

Hi Kelly,

Hi Kelly, I see by the map that there is an 'old' Gibi's - when was the 'new one' established? We were there in 2003. Should we take a cab to get there if staying at the Divi? I can't remember what we did last time. Thanks! Cheryl

Cheryl, you were almost certainly at the old Gibi's, across from China Nobo.

mike, don't worry about kelly not knowing where conneaut is....she's from nerk and gets a little confused when she starts travelling north. still, she's fun so we keep her around (even tho she never explained to me about her birthday t-shirts)

OK Pat, I take it that you do know where our little burg is? Normally not even "Clevelanders" do ;-} 4 days and counting!!!! Looking at the local weather, looks like we are leaving at right time, sounds like it is supposed to get back to "normal". The things is, at least you have some idea of where I am and what we experience here; (weather wise) Kelly probably doesn't even know what snow is ;-} I imagine you are in the snowbelt too right? I hope it doesn't interfere with our departure!

mike, my wife has some cousins in conneaut. we are kind of in the snow belt but not to the extent that chardon and the rest of geauga county is...those places dont' even think of closing the schools till they get about 6' of snow on the ground...to them, anything less than 6 feet is just a dusting.

35 days...22 hours...38 minutes...it's a good thing you're not jealous

Pat, we are completely out of the snow belt here in Central Ohio. I even have a southern accent. lol. Lots of rain yesterday/last night. You?

kelly, i drove to columbus a few times over the past week...hardly any snow south of mansfield. i still think it should be warmer there tho...you are that much closer to the equator.

Tish, I just noticed your post to me, I'm sorry that I missed it. Thank you very much for the info regarding Gibi's. I remember meeting him in 2003 and was so amazed at how he handled such a large group (we met Superturtle and his group for the first time as well!).. It certainly was an incredible evening!! Gibi was such a gentle soul.

cheryl, you don't have to worry about walking around bonaire at night...and while you may walk to gibi's i'd almost guarantee that someone there will give you a ride back (your last day on bonaire is the day we arrive or i'd say that we'd give you a ride). it should be about a 15-20 minute walk to gibi's from the divi.

Curacao is indeed dangerous. Bonaire, however, is nothing like Curacao! I have never heard of a mugging on Bonaire, but I suppose freakish incidents could happen anywhere.

Pat, Thanks for your offer to give me a lift if you would have been there (People on the forum are so friendly and welcoming .. it boggles my mind . I'm really happy that you'll just be arriving ..I'm sure you can hardly stand the wait at this point in time. On the other hand, I know that I'll be so sad because I'll have to leave the next morning......I dread that feeling!

By Tish (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #706) on Saturday, January 14, 2006 - 9:20 am: |
Cheryl, I've just put your first Tuesday night on my calendar for Gibi's, and I would be happy to give you a ride home if you're willing to leave after dinner instead of hanging out. Your second Tuesday night I'm nearly certain I will not be able to make it since a house guest will just have arrived who is sure to insist on another schedule.

By Cheryl Ferguson (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #111) on Saturday, January 14, 2006 - 10:21 am: |
Thank you very much Tish, that is awfully kind of you. We may take you up on your offer if we have not rented a car by then. Still exploring options and availability. See you soon!! Cheryl

tish, i've never heard of a mugging either. i guess fights might occur (somebody once said that if there is a fight at pashi's place the entire police department shows up...LOL) but i imagine that the people would know each other. i've never heard of a visitor having a problem. remember last year when there was a shooting in hato? the two people knew each other and the shooting was the result of an argument. as far as i know, nobody died but that was discussed on bonaire for weeks afterwards...here in the states it wouldn't have even made the newspaper. on bonaire it was really big news because there is so little violent crime and i don't know of anyone who owns a gun there. (now i hope i don't start a thread on violent crime on bonaire)
