Hi all!
Ok, I finally met Matt at DEMA 2006, if only for a minute as he was in such a demand! Anyway, it was great getting to hug him after being phone and email buddies for the last 2 and 1/2 years!
As many of you know Matt's ultimate dream is to dive on Bonaire. Well all arrangements have been made for Matt's arrival here on Bonaire for May 2007. The only thing we are waiting for is airfare. We have approached Air Jamaica and American to see what they can do. We will be needing an large amount of seats, at least 4 first class (2 for Matt, one for his nurse and one for his dad) and approximately 6-8 coach seats for is crew, which we don't think we will get totally. If anyone has any pull with any airline that flies into Bonaire, Aruba or Curacao, then your help would be appreciated. I am also going to set up an "escrow" account to be administered by a 3rd party for donations for any airfare we cannot cover. We are probably looking at raising about $10,000 or so for his airfare and transportation. Four first class seats run about $1,800 each and we would need 6-8 coach seats running about $700-$800 each. We've just worked so hard getting everything donated on Bonaire that we don't want to squash Matt's dream because we couldn't get him here!
Thanks to all!
