I can only say wow!!! and thanks for such a great trip report!! It's too bad you got stranded a few extra days, but what better place to have that happen than Bonaire. Love the pics, would love to see more (hint, hint)!!

Great report Deborah! I agree with your family too - I'd rather be stuck on Bonaire for another day than chance it in Montego Bay. I've already had that happen where we WAY too many hours late and had to overnight in MOBAY. Besides - who is that much of a hurry to leave unless you are having a family emergency.

Hey Deborah - Super report!! I sat here wondering daily. I e-mailed friends on the island until the power went out. Friends here in Maryland called me to say they heard the word "Bonaire" on the TV. Aside from coming from me, it is the only other time they have ever heard of the place. We would tune in to the Web Cam for a look. (Furniture was gone. They are securing the beach! Oh my look at the fronds on that tree - but you only get a glimpse.) Thanks to your wonderful report we all know better how things really went on the island with that nasty guy IVAN. I am so glad your trip had lots of great diving, an exciting adventure and a happy outcome. Super nice photos. I hope one day we will meet - I am out in western Howard County, Maryland with my family of divers! I did a hearty chuckle at the BWI information. (wink-wink, grin-grin!) Thanks for brightening my Bonaire depressed day. We are t-minus 9 months for returning to the island and all our friends there! Once that Bonaire sand got into our shoes - it has had to be a minimum of a once a year annual return - or we are all very unhappy c-card holders!

Many thanks to everyone for your nice comments about my trip report. Writing it was fun - like taking a pseudo-trip back to Bonaire (which is probably why I went on for sooooo long!)

Great report! I especially got a good giggle going at your mention of the lizard jumping on you in the dark bathroom. That definitely would have raised my heart rate!!

When you want to know how lucky our lovely little island of Bonaire was...look at how badly our friends and neighbors have it over at the Caymans. Here is a link to look at some powerful images. http://66.135.34.197/ivan
