OK, here is my first trip report (ever) on our first Bonaire trip, surely not to be our last!

Great report Nancy - another Denverite! We head down in 27 days (yes I'm counting:-)) Thanks for the info on restaurants especially the new restaurant at Sand$$. We booked our 2nd week there using Alan & Joan's condo. We are truly looking forward to that. Glad you enjoyed your 1st trip to Bonaire.

Very glad it was a good time. Now you can take your place on the boards with fresh information and new impressions. You did work hard, but things change on-the-ground. Of course Mom had no probs with my bros and I, we were perfect children.(lol). My Dad alternated between threats of bodily harm and pretending he didn't know us. Welcome back. Deepbreath. Now you can plan next years along with all of us.

Welcome back, Nancy. Glad all your prior-planning worked for you! Take Kerri seriously about planning along with all of us - were are starting a revolution.

Nice trip report. Glad you had a great time. Can you provide any more info about the new restaurant at Sand Dollar? We're really excited about its opening.

Hi again. Well, you all are kind about your "welcome backs" and the quality of my trip report. My husband was rushing me to vacate his computer, as it took me longer to write that report than I had imagined (OK, the Venus Williams / Jennifer Capriati match on TV distracted me for awhile...), so I may have left out a deatil or 2 I wanted to include (like names of some of those fish we saw at the pier in Santa Barbara area : 1 or 2 Rock Beauties, a pair of French Angelfish (do they usually travel in pairs?), Blue Tang, Surgeonfish, and I think the Midnight Parrotfish). His internet connection is so much faster than mine :-), but he works at home now (new development), so I have to wait for my new laptop and my very own cable connection before I can catch up to him.

I din't even mention that my son really enjoyed sailing with Karen and crew on Oscarina, and became much more comfortable with snorkelling as he accrued time in the ocean, got used to both shore and boat entries, learned techniques, and facts about the marine life he saw, from Annet.

Nancy, although I'm not YET a diver, I'm anxious to be, but my husband, Alan, isn't. However, I'm hoping I can entice him to do a resort course with me on our next trip, and then I figure he'll get hooked too.... Please concentrate on that for me, will you all? Just see Alan out there in his BC, and visualize us both at the reefcam!!
