Chez Neal with CFO Gary are in final plans preparing for our Grand Reopening in 6 days. We are looking forward to another successful week but need the help of all guest in supplying the club.
Plastic cups, snacks and a sense of humor are needed. Rum punches seemed to be very popular during the week. Trip Virgins should not hesitate to join us during the week. Beer is always in supply thanks to the little store across the street but it is closed on Sundays. Fruit punch runs out fast.

CFO Gary do you have anything else to add?

Plenty of rum is also available at the little store. We are not for drinkers only. In past years this has always been a social gathering point. (although to be fair, Neal is the social one)

Neal is more social...but Gary is the quiet type so don't underestimate him!

Both guys are awesome and really help make the week more fun...even if you don't drink or are just giving it up for Lent like yours truly!

Gang....here's a few INSIDER SECRETS...

1. Juices & mixers are a bit scare on the island...no Walmarts on Bonaire! (And probably a good thing!) So if you have to bring two suitcases anyway...the stick a jug of juice or mixer in your suitcase...you'll be the life of the party AND help those who bought alcohol at duty free.... sometimes I think the mixers are more than the booze!

2. Tuck a bag of nuts or snacks in your carry on...they are easy, fresh and cheap to get in the States or Canada but not so much in Bonaire. If every other person brought a snack we'd be set for the week.

3. Or since its girl scout cookie time...help a little girl and then bring the goods to Bonaire. Everyone wins!

Yikes! I need pineapple juice ( weight!) And I have a soft case for my checked bag. Hmmm maybe an 8 pack of those little one shot cans...

There is more than one type of juice available at the little store across the street.....and more options at the big grocery store.

Teresa, if nothing else you can get pineapple juice at breakfast & stick it in your room's fridge.

[WreckWench]

Tammy I am not sure they had pineapple everyday... but the stores do offer several different juice options.

Teresa nuts won't crush...nor will chex miz or snacks in cans!

DOCUMENT REQUEST:

I don't have ANY docs from Mike aka Drdippum or Lisa aka Off the wall. You are both S/O so it won't affect rooming, but I need your Surveys so I can chart you to find a compatible dive buddy, and I MUST have your Liability & Medical Waiver.

There are only 4 full days left before I begin traveling, and I'm also working hard at my day job these last 4 days to prepare for being gone for a week. So if you could PLEASE get these turned in so I can squeeze in working on dive buddy pairs before the trip, I would very much appreciate it!!

Please send your completed forms to: trips@singledivers.com or fax them to the toll-free number (888) 480-0906 and I will get them.

Hey Kamala, do I actually get some kind of travel documents in the mail? Or just show up and hope the resort knows about me? I thought I saw something about that in the posts, but couldn't find it again. Trip virgins, and enquiring minds want/need to know! SOOO looking forward to it.

Great question! We do not typically send out any travel docs UNLESS we have issued airline tickets to you. Since your booking agent is on the trip with you...travel docs are not needed for your flights as you have booked them yourself and I'll be in the lobby waiting for you when you arrive Sat or Sun.

If you absolutely need a travel document then let us know and we can issue you one.

Yes, I was in the outlet store yesterday

Thanks Kamala and Tammy,

Hopefully I will be able to procure enough pineapple juice to make "blue whales"

Anyone know if they sell Amaretto in the IAH Duty-Free?
