We called it "The trip that almost didn't happen!"  That pretty much sums up the start of this trip as we found very late on the evening before our departure that our outbound flight from Kansas City was cancelled and we had no way to make our connecting flight.  After nearly four hours on the phone with the airline, we were rescheduled on an alternate airline at a later time and though we arrived about 12 hours late, we did make it to Bonaire.

The trip was blast.  25 of us descended on Bonaire and the healthy reef system surrounding Bonaire and Klein Bonaire.  Over the next week, each of us completed up to 10 boat dives and several shore dives.  The weather was exceptional (no snow all week), and the visibility was 100' or better.  Several members of the group completed training during the week with 3-5 specialties per person and one couple completed their Advanced Open Water certification.

In addition to wonderful diving, we had some wonderful evenings, dining in a series of great restaurants near the property.  We stayed at the Divi Flamingo which is very close to downtown so we had easy access to food, shopping, and diving.

Many thanks to those who attended.  We have a slideshow of the trip at the shop if you would like to see some of the pictures.
