To all those other 5 years olds around the world:

You really can go to Bonaire and have good time. You just need to talk your parents into bringing you along, like I did. You really must talk them into it, so when I go back, I will have more freinds to hang around with.

(My parents said that bringing me actually made Bonaire a whole new experience. They said it made them feel liek a kid again)

Here are more pics of my fun and games on Bonaire:


This is me.


This is Murph at Buddy Dive. Mom says he has gills.



Puck the dog. He always knew when I was going yo eat lunch.



This is the ladder at Buddy Dive. I think my mom looks kinda proud.



Practicing with my sassy equip in teh Buddy pool.



This is my island grandmother, Miranda. She and I are buds.



Miranda and my mom at Old Blue. Nice beach.



This is during a surface interval at 1000 steps.



Mom doing the coral dance at 1000 steps. You know I only counted 72 steps.



Mom helping me get ready to chase fish at Pink beach



Funny thing, you gota walk backwards with fins on.



Buried Alive. Someone help me, the tide is comming in.



My parents clean wore me out. I had have one these every day. I wonder what my parents did without me?



Mom we are right here. Jibe City should be right around the next corner.



Next time I am going to try that sail thing at Jibe City



This is where everone wants to dive, but no one can becuase of the waves. My dad called this the iron coast.



My dad let me have one of these every day. Sometimes I swam up to bar and ordered one. pretty cool huh.


Now ya see, you really need to talk your parents into talking you to Bonaire. Or try your grand parents, uncles, aunts, neighbors, anybody. You simply have to go to Bonaire.

Dave, you need to split up the post. I try to limit each post to 5 or 6 pictures otherwise it errors out. Keep trying we need your pictures.

Dave, Cecil is right....try fewer pics per posting and it should work...now you REALLY have us anxiously awaiting round two! Can't wait to see more. I actually passed the page with the first shots out to friends of mine all over the world to see and enjoy...it was that touching and nicely done. You all are very lucky folks...all three of you. We await round two! Carole (Shutterbug)

Ok here we go again.

I had to have my dad do this at work since he has a better connection there.

AS I said above, you really must talk your parents into talking you to Bonaire next time.

Dave, having a Firewall active??

Martin:

Having something active alright. And it does not seem to my brain. Actually, I just figured it out. (I think). My files are now all reduced in size. I am about ot give it another go.

Every part of me is crossed (like my fingers, toes, etc.)

Here's a story, a story of a lovely lady, her Husband, and her son......(Song to the Brady Bunch tune)

Once again. A message to all you 5 year olds, and your parents. BONAIRE CAN HANDLE KIDS, BONAIRE IS MADE FOR KIDS.

PS. My mother says I mispelled "Learned". So now I have spelled it correctly.

Taking my surface inerval at 1000 steps. Apples are good to eat while doing surface intervals.


Mom doing the coral dance at 1000 steps. Ya know there are actually only 72 steps.


Looked like mom had such good time dancing, I thought I would give it go.

Pay backs


On my way to Klein. Hagen drove, and his kids came along and even helped give the dive orientation. I saw a turtle.

The last of the shots. Do I win an award for effort?

My parents clean wore me out. I had to have one of htese eavery day. Wonder what my parents did wihtout me.


Mom we are right here. Jibe City should be jsut around the corner.


Next time I am going to try that sail thing at Jibe City. Looks warmer than Ice Boating with my dad.


This is where everone wants to dive, but no one can becuase of the waves. My dad calls is the "Iron Coast"


My parents let me have one these everyday. It was a nice way to finish the day.


Til next time.

Remember start talking your parents into it now. Start saving your nickels. "Turn your hat around, pull your pants up and get a job".

Martin.

I did not see your question til now. I had tunnel vision.

I reduced the Sony pictures by 50%. I then saved them as standard quality in lieu of high quality. Result is they range is size from about 18KB to about 23KB in lieu of 150KB+-.

Does that answer yuor question?

Yes it does. Great pictures, they make me want to get on an airplane right now....

(BTW: Say hi to your mum and dad

Wonderful pictures and story-telling! Thanks so much for sticking with it until you got them posted.

Yes dave you and your family get a crown for great pictures!!!
