BON BINI!


Well as you can see we made it safely to Bonaire at 4:30am this morning but the last 48hours have been crazy to say the least! Where to begin...we closed on our house late on Thursday and were thankfully able to get almost everything moved in on Friday after having the carpet cleaned, Direct TV installed, CPI installed, and the appliances installed...as if that weren't enough to ware us out, here is what we did next! Lets see i'm just gonna give like a "play by play" here...
*Finished moving about 10pm Friday night
*Packed for Bonaire
*Went to bed about 1am
*Woke up at 6:30am
*Drove to Atlanta airport...a 4 1/2 hour trip that turned into 6 1/2 hours with accidents on the road
*Almost missed our flight to Newark but thankfully it was delayed
*Sat in Atlanta airport for an hour and a half before bording the plane
*Sat on the airplane for another hour because of weather delays in Newark
*Made it to Newark at 8:15pm and had a layover there until our next flight at 11:55pm
*Left Newark for Bonaire at 11:55pm
*Arrived in Bonaire at 4:30am, went through customs, got luggage, and checked in with rental car
*Drove around Bonaire from approximately 6am until noon (still no sleep mind you) because that was when we could check in
*Spent $95 on groceries that would have cost about $30 in the states
*FINALLY checked into our room and getting ready to shower and crawl into bed after being up for about 30 hours straight
Now if THAT doesn't make you tired, I don't know what will! Needless to say it has been a crazy trip but the waters in Bonaire are absolutely amazing and we will have more pics to update with later on today or tomorrow, i'm just to lazy to get the card out of the other camera right now! Our first scuba diving trip is tomorrow also, going to do 2 dives in the morning so hopefully I will have my first underwater pictures with my new camera to update with as well!
