island speed...bonaire

i arrived on bonaire sunday morning april 20...i landed at 5am and walked out through customs with both of my massive suitcases and the cat at about 5:30am...i didn't see my dad, sharon or tiff anywhere...usually they are waving at me from a window as i walk off the plane onto the tarmac...i did catch sight of my grandma...nonnie...i called out to her twice saying nonnie...each time louder then used her real name of lou...still louder...apparently she didn't recognize me...after getting closer to her and her finally seeing who i was we sat to wait for the rest of the fam...after about 10 min. i asked nonnie if she had her cell phone with her and that if she did we could call them and see where they were...we made the call only to discover that the muffins were coming just coming out of the oven and they were on their way...we had mimosas and muffins in the parking lot...it was great to see everyone...
we spent the next couple days down by the pool...just relaxing...we went to Capriccio for dinner one night...we also spent a day on the mushi mushi celebrating dad's birthday... scott barlass everyone!!!!
i had to take thura to the vet down there to get a health certificate so she could come back into the states...the vet is dutch and has a pet goat that thinks it's a dog...the sunsets were beautiful...even thura spent time enjoying them as well...this was our last sunset on the island for this trip...she loved being out and about down on bonaire...
all in all it was a fantastic trip...i had a great time with dad, shar, nonnie and tiff...thanks for a great time!!
