Bonaire's travel update

[Daebado]

We are slated to go to Bonaire in July, I certainly hope some sanity has been restored by then.

When in July? We're heading there on the 25th.

That`s when we are coming back.

Thanks for posting this rmorgan. My brother had told me a few days ago there weren't any cases on island. We're heading there 2nd week of April and as long as the plane is flying, we'll be on it! Hopefully nothing changes between now and then that keeps the planes grounded.

I read somewhere that the virus may be heat sensitive and cannot survive long in temps above 80. This may not help from person to person transmission but may with surface transfers in places like Bon. Unfortunately for us traveling divers, persons arriving by plane and cruise ships are the biggest threat to a Bon and a ban may be in the cards. KLM flights from Europe should be on the top of any list.

That's encouraging!

I have a trip booked for June. Fingers crossed. My trip in two weeks to CH just cancelled. Things are changing pretty quickly.

Prime Minister confirms Curaçao’s first case of COVID-19; closes airspace with Europe

It’s in Curacao from a visitor from the Netherlands. Its just a matter of time before Bonaire documents one if they don’t take action. And if its not too late.

As I told Eric when he wondered about our Cayman trip in April, the question may not be if it is safe for us to go but will they let us come?


Ok. Looks like Aruba too but from New York contacts.

Travel from Europe is done through the end of march, and cruise ships are not able to dock anymore either.

Total nonsense about the 80F
A person's body is 96+

Maybe 80c, lol

Actually, there is a big difference between a viruses ability to survive on a surface versus inside a person’s body where the virus is actively reproducing. So... not necessarily nonsense!
