Chez Neal/ Chez SD Volunteer Supply List: (A longtime SD tradition of a designated Happy Hour room)
This is a totally volunteer contribution effort, but between Duty Free and selecting your own favorite libations this has proven a super Social Hour solution!
We also solicit snacks, so if you prefer not to contribute alcohol please consider chips, crackers, etc.
LOCATION: The Wench's room (plus 1-2 rooms near the dive shop in case of overflow!)
WHEN: When diving is over! Come join us for Happy Hour drinks and snacks (concludes at dinnertime)
HOW: Get a bottle at Duty Free and snacks from home (nuts, pretzels etc) Mixers as well as beer can be found a block away at Sunshine Grocery.
OTHER: We ask a few volunteers to bring cups plus ice from the ice machine. We may need a few extra mixers depending on what people bring.
AFTER: After HH each night we store the beverages as well as snacks in the host studio that includes a kitchen and bring them out for the next HH.
NOTE: Please feel free to take your 'bottle' back to your room with you if you  wish and/or leave it until the next day for the HH (Happy Hour)

 

1. Kamala aka WreckWench - Whatever booze the budget allows + Snacks
2. Helene aka TangledFins - grabbing a bottle at Duty Free

Kamala et al,

 

I need an extra night in Bonaire on July 20 as my flight departs on Sunday July 21.   I would also like an extra days of diving on Friday and on Saturday morning.    I put rental gear in my docs, but they aren't showing yet.   I need my usual med-large BC, regulator and weights.

Thank you for double checking... many of the summary lists we create complied from the trip docs are not generated right away due to so few people having signed up. Much better to recap here AND put in your docs...so you have the proper redundancy.

 

The extra night will be requested for you and I'll confirm when its been confirmed.  ALSO BE AWARE THAT THE EXTRA NIGHT MAY END UP BEING A SINGLE ROOM UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO STAY A DAY LATER AND SHARE WITH YOU.

 

NOTE that everyone in our industry just did our annual industry show and everyone is slammed right now...so it may take a couple of days to get a confirmation on the extra night.

 

And finally there will be no issue diving on Friday but not sure about Saturday. I'll be sure to add hotel and diving to the pkg. The room will NOT include meals... I can quote those separately for you and you can decide what to add.

 

Note that by booking with us you will not have to change rooms... or only in an extreme situation.. whereas if you book differently you always have to change rooms.

 

Thank you for all the updates... we TRULY APPRECIATE THEM!!!

Hi Kamala,

 

Realize I might be too late here but I could use an extra night on the back end 7/20, if available?

 

Also, I'd love to book a DM for the boat night dive if one is available. I saw Rent a Buddy but it didn't seem to let me specify which dive, apologies if I missed that.

 

Thanks and can't wait!

Drew I have contacted Kamala to expedite the 20 July extra night request; rooms are getting tight but she is confident that she has you covered. We will contact you when the reservation is confirmed along with any price adjustments which may be necessary (we have only one other extra night member but he is already S/O meaning your extra night will have to be S/O as well) so please do NOT book an extra night until we let you know.
