Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 from Bonaire!!! We had an excellent day!! We didn’t have any set plans for the day, so we embraced the “caribe lyfe” as they say here and took it easy. Food here for breakfast and lunch seems to be the same things each day. I tend to have meats and cheese with bread …

Christmas in Bonaire!
This was a very fun, although weird, Christmas! Bill and I took the morning slow so I could recover from kitesurfing yesterday. I have mystery bruises in various places, but nothing serious. We went for a scooter ride downtown this morning but everything was closed. We’ll go again tomorrow so I can get a tea …
Day 2 with Bill
We only got to spend the evening here in Bonaire yesterday, the good Netherlands according to the local travel channel. It had a very entertaining spot about the differences between the Netherlands to the north and the Caribbean Netherlands. Not much happened yesterday other than landing at the Flamingo Airport, a tour of the resort, eating …
Kitesurfing
We had a fun first full day! After breakfast this morning, Bill and I set up some of our activities for the rest of the week. Places are pretty booked for scuba so we may not get to do that, but there are plenty of other fun things to keep us busy. We rented a …
Bonaire!
Hello All! We made it Bonaire about 4pm their time yesterday. It was a very long travel day and the time zone is two hours different, so everything feels a little off for us. I think it’s going to be a good vacation though. It’s hot! We are 11 degrees south of the equator. The …

Bill’s Last Post
26 July 2019 14:28 R.E.D. Friday (Remember Everyone Deployed)We have a taxi lined up for tomorrow’s trip to the airport with our favorite driver Aley. We both seem ready to head back to the United States but a little sad to be leaving Colombia. It has been a good trip overall, we have seen a …
Last Day
We had a very pleasant final day here in Cartagena. We got up with no plans and had a slow morning. One of Bill’s travel books recommended a couple of restaurants so we tried one for lunch and were planning to try a second for supper. The lunch restaurant had a very fun atmosphere and …
Mosquitoes
Bill and I just got back from dinner at a tiny little restaurant we happened to come across. They were out of coconut lemonade, which was disappointing, but I had a fried fish fillet and Bill had something that tasted like a Mongolian meat dish with several different kinds of meats. The food was pretty …
