the bad was always with the traveling to and from the island (always the
air flights--ALM-Air Aruba-American Airlines). Now flying to Bonaire has
become very accomodating such as Air Jamaica to Monetego Bay and change
planes to Bonaire (waiting time approx one to two hours) but arrive in
Bonaire by 2.30pm. Now best of all Continental Airlines will be flying
direct non-stop flight from Newark to Bonaire on Sat 11.55pm and arrive Sun
5.30pm. Also, they similar flight from Houston to Bonaire also non-stop.

The good is the restaurants on the island diverse and good.

The best staying at Sanddollar Condo and Hotels like living at home (from
studio-one bedroom-two bedroom-three bedroom and town house)

Greatest--the ease and beauty and hands off policy of diving
