Day 1 - Arrival

Flights went well. Slept a bit on the PDX to MIA leg. 10:40pm – 1:30pm EDT. My Fitbit said I slept 2 hrs. & 7 min. I think it was more. I felt OK. In MIA we walked around a bit & got a bagel, cream cheese & tea/coffee. Slept most of the next flight! 3 hours! Entry into Bonaire was easy. Basically, they checked our passports. We wandered around trying to find the car rental place, but it turned out they were there to meet us! They called Rod. The gal took us over to the office to get us set up with our truck. Drove to our resort without trouble. We were here before check in, but that was no problem. Excellent place! Sand Dollar Resort. We arrived during “Rincon Day” festival. An annual festival, April 30 & May 1. The gal at the car rental said the stores were closing at 5:00, so we rushed to the market where the parade was starting! Colorful costumes & lots of music. The store was well stocked. Van Den Tweel Supermarket. Had sans, wine & beer at our place. Shower & bed. Hot & windy!
