One year I desperately needed a vacation. Lo and behold, some friends had recently moved from New Hampshire to Bonaire, a small island in the Netherlands Antilles. They were having a party, and invited me. Well, okay! So I flew down (only 35000 frequent flier miles required for a free flight on United) and stayed at their home for 12 days.
Sadly, the only photo I have to share (online) is this one, taken on my friend's front patio. When there, I really didn't feel like taking many photos -- I was there to decompress from too much work and stress. The photos I have are mainly of my friends, and not of the scenery.
Some great webcams on this island:<p> <a href="http://www.bonairewebcams.com/TheWorks.html">http://www.bonairewebcams.com/TheWorks.html</a></p>

40 miles from Venezuela!!! You should swim there!!!
I've always wanted to go to the Netherlands Antilles. I don't really know why.
Will be going to Bonaire soon! Thanks for your tips!
Congrats on your marriage. How about a second honeymoon to Bonaire? We can't wait to return too.
sounds like a really great place!
great start would love to hear more about this destination
Bonaire, Aruba and Curacao (maybe even not blue) are my wife's dream destinations :-))) = we will get there someday hehe!
Interesting to read about a remote part of my country. And good tip about bringing supplies!
I hope you night in Miami was a good one!
Nice that you brought supplies for your friends.
