    Fast Moving Coral Disease Alert on Bonaire

    So I was there last August and it wasn't that bad. 2016 was worse, 2015, 2017 and 2021 were better. I have an October 2024 trip booked with 4 friends. Are we going to be better off cancelling this trip and going somewhere else? Everyone going has been at least twice, so the experience of the...

    I just got back from 10 days on Bonaire. Even 3 extra days drastically changed my trip, for all the reasons you stated.

    Let's say I know nothing about the Bahamas

    Part of the Bahamas trip is retirement scouting, otherwise Curacao would be considered.

    Let's say I know nothing about the Bahamas

    Yeah, I fly down on Wednesdays. I fear that with the development going on, it's going to get too populous for my tastes. As far as excursions go, if we have food, a beach, and diving we're happy. All adults considering going are Healthcare workers and pretty much over crowds and people at...

    Let's say I know nothing about the Bahamas

    So my fiance and I, and her 2 kids (10 and 13) have decided that the Bahamas are our leading candidate for our next trip. Most of my dive travel has been to Bonaire, and I love that style of vacation. But it starts getting cost prohibitive for 4 and the airfare there. Economy there tends to...

    Covid surging in Bonaire

    Yeah, early on in the wait, they kicked some of us out of the seats immediately to the left of our gate and cordoned it off. I found out later it was those that got the "bad" tests and they were waiting there for results of retesting. Also strange, we found out that if you wear a light blue...

    2022 Bonaire Roll Call

    The best I've done was 2016. 3 of us. Bonaire Exclusive 3 bedroom for 669, truck add on 300, 20% off through dive friends, iirc, 144 each. So 467 each, plus food. I flew business on points, and ate cheap. So I spent less than 1k. The current trip, well thank God my new woman makes REALLY...

    Budget Trip Challenge - Bonaire

    Tropical car rental is the only business on Bonaire to ever have screwed me over. I had a jeep reserved with them for the trip I'm on right now. A month out, I checked their site for a friend and noticed the jeep was gone. So I emailed them. They'd sold it. I asked if they had another vehicle...

    So when we got to Walgreens, they wouldn't take our insurance. Or any other payment of any kind.

    We connected through MIA on Wednesday. They didn't ask for anything except boarding passes and passports.

    Covid surging in Bonaire

    No way to really know. My flight landed minutes after a KLM flight Wednesday and we were through in minutes. They for sure looked at everything, how thoroughly, I don't know. Nobody got pulled out of line that we saw.

    2021 Bonaire roll call

    Many of the facilities in my area that do PCR tests have suspended them for travel. My fiance and I were only able to get them scheduled because we're Healthcare workers. I've noticed a lot of people here talking about paying for the tests. Our insurance covers us. Lucky I guess.

    Covid surging in Bonaire

    No need to pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. You show your ass on here more than the donkey sanctuary. Direct flights from the US were banned. It'll happen again if the current growth in the US holds course.

    2021 Bonaire roll call

    My fiance and I are likely out. Turns out being a Healthcare worker in Central Arkansas with Arkansas being ground zero for The Delta Variant explosion is not good for vacation days.

    Covid surging in Bonaire

    The way the Delta variant is taking off in the US, I wouldn't be surprised to see a ban again soon.
