New requirements coming for entering Bonaire. Looks like an antigen and a PCR test will be required. Anyone in the states know how hard it is to get tests for travel?
...

Yes, as Canuck52 mentioned there is a whole section of Gluten free stuff in VDTweel. They have GF spaghetti, bread, crackers. I have found Chex and occasionally GF cornflakes at Lucky grocery on...

If only we had waited a few more days to make travel plans! My husband and I are changing our itinerary to go straight to the US now instead of staying in Curacao. I just emailed Bon Bida to get...

Bonlabs is the PCR test place on Bonaire. Bring samples from a doctor, pay them $213 and get results in 24 hours. Unfortunately, my March 1 flight is on a Monday and Bonlabs is open Monday- Friday....

A little more detail from Bonlab from an email they just sent me. They do not take the sample. It has to be done at the clinic across from the hospital then i take the sample to them. They said...

I have a flight from Bonaire to the US on March 1 so I'm going to be investigating how to get a PCR test on Bonaire. I'll post any information I uncover unless someone else figures this out first. ...

My husband and i are from the States and we contacted Bruce even before we moved here last year. He knows all the in and outs. Super nice guy as well.

Best of luck to you.....

My husband and I went to Oil Slick to do a night dive to view the ostracods tonight and jumped right into a big smack of little jellyfish! As best as we could tell, they were small maybe 2-3 inches...

That’s great. When I read your first post I was thinking how hard it must be to dig a pool in most places on Bonaire. You’d be digging into rock, lava rock, or coral.
If you guys decide to get a...

Yes, thank you for all your updates ChrisL. I've been interested in your progress all along the way and I'm glad you made it here and back safely too.

I am having some tile replaced in my house and it looks like 3 inches of dust is on everything. Does anyone use a cleaning company they really like and trust here in Bonaire that can help me put my...

Has anyone renewed their US passport at the consulate in Curacao? The instructions are clear on the web site but I do not know where I can buy a US passport picture of the correct size. They...

It’s very cool seeing the progress of the coral after the planting. The moray is indeed awesome. Thanks for posting all of these videos and pictures.

Bad news that Curacao cases have gone up again. They’ve implemented stricter regulations including a 14 day quarantine for tourists from higher risk countries. I don’t know how this applies to US...

Recently we had a little spike of cases here on the island and there were small restrictions like closing bars and casinos early and the gyms were closed again. Under the Dutch Corona color system...

Ya! Congratulations. I’ve been watching to see how it went. We’ve been afraid to leave the island because we might not get back. Glad you made it.

You do need a negative PCR test to go to Curacao and only FL, NY, NJ, and Connecticut are listed as medium risk from the US. I believe people who don’t have a state ID from one of those 4 states...

I received an email from the Donkey Sanctuary with a link to a new Go Fund Me page. This is an easy way for Americans to help out the Donkey Sanctuary here on Bonaire. ...

Great news. Thank you for keeping us updated.

There is an article about reopening to the US in BES from two days ago that is interesting. The Bonaire Hotel and Tourism Association is really pushing for it. There’s no mention of any real plans...

Is this something you find in grocery stores near you? I’ve never heard of it or seen anything like that in any store here. There are several excellent BBQ restaurants here on the island. My husband...

They were still open as of the last Taste of Bonaire on August 1. Maybe someone has been by more recently.

Looks like we have a single Covid 19 case in the hospital recovering right now. It was in the newspaper today and a Dutch friend read it for us. Not many details, but they’re doing contact tracing....

Before this past March I’ve always came to Bonaire in the summer and fall, so take my observations with a grain of salt. Kaya Grandi is the most noticeable difference to me with so few tourists...
