Fran and I just returned from a 10 day dive trip to Bonaire. My long-time friend and business parter, Joel, joined us for 8 of those days. We had a good time, with plenty of great diving, although Fran got strep throat about halfway through the week, and didn’t dive after that.
One aspect of this trip that’s interesting is that we did it using HomeExchange.com, a website I highly recommend you look into. We exchanged our house with a house in Bonaire, so Anke and John stayed here while we stayed there. (We also exchanged vehicles and boats, but that’s not normally part of a Home Exchange.) We’ve done several exchanges since June of last year, and will keep doing it – it’s a great way to visit some amazing places and not have to spend anything for you lodging.
Unlike most of my previous posts, this one is going to be more pictures, and fewer words – since I know that’s what you all really want anyway! So here you go: Smartini Goes to Bonaire!
You saw one of everything! What were your accommodations like? How were your flights? Get well feral fran…
The only thing we hoped to see, but didn’t, was a frog fish. We even had detailed instructions on where to find one, but we never did that particular dive. Oh, well – we saw tons of them in Indonesia.
Accommodations and flights… nobody cares, el guapo!
Whoa. Some classic shots there!
We’re finishing up some engine work on Activated Eau and will be back to sea shortly!
Wonderful waterworld views. Thanks so much, guys!
No if you’re pitching Home Exchange it makes sense to describe what you exchanged for…. Capisce?
