Well folks, so I screwed up in my previous thread and after a big D'OH! I deleted the video. It is uploaded again, but I could not get the mods to fix the link for me and I know many of you are anxious to view my trip report.

So here you go. Please CLICK HERE here to view it. My wife Kathy and I had a terrific time in the Island, and we would like to share the highlights of our third visit with you. Again, CLICK HEREto be taken to the video, and your comments and ratings are all appreciated. Enjoy

Thanks for re-posting - I felt like a MAJOR dork when I couldn't get the link to work the first time. Actually I took it personal - LOL! Great video and thanks for sharing. It really looks like you had a great time. I'm thinking next time it is caving time PLUS it's night dive at Oil Slick too. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Izzy,

Glad you reposted the link. No one saw your email until me, today (didn't check email yesterday).

Nice video.

Cynde

Thanks for re-posting, Izzy. I didn't get a chance to look at it the first time you posted, I did and enjoyed it and thought the music was cool too.

Hi Mara, I am terribly sorry about the confusion, I hope I made it up to you. Yes please, try the caves with Hans Voerman. He is an amazing guide and the experience is educational, enriching, and out of this world. I had THE most amazing night dive at Oil Slick Leap. The best part was when we turned our lights off and were diving in darkness for about 10 minutes. It was so incredibly beautiful, I thought my head was going to explode and my senses had a hard time trying to absorb it all. At the end we were greeted with a beutiful night sky. Ahh the memories! Thanks

Thanks Cynde, I figure you guys would be busy and I did not want to confuse people anymore. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you Debbie. I'm happy that you got a chance to see the video, and my apologies again for the confusion. I picked that particular tune (Ritmo di Banana) as it has a lot of tropical flavor, and increases in tempo as it develops. There were a couple more excellent choices, but this was the winner.

Izzy,

That was a cool video, thanks!

Did you know that a version of that song (The Banana Boat Song) was popularized by Harry Bellafonte, who had ties to Bonaire?

Am I showing my age?

Susan, Dang!

Harry Bellafonte? Until now, only my pops in law was the only person referring to his music. Small world huh? That was a great piece of trivia. Glad you enjoyed the video.

What age?

Great Video Izzy, the song is one of my fav karaoke songs

Thanks for sharing. Very enjoyable

Kilroy and Jan, thanks for your feedback. Kil, I'm just trying to picture people trying to karaoke to that. That must some party! Thanks

I keep picturing Beatlejuice whenever I hear the Bellafonte version of it - the dinner party scene where Winona Ryder's parents and pretentious friends are "possessed" by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin and start to sing and dance around the table.

I can see karaoke-ing to it...

Like I said, that has to be one heck of a party!
