I believe ChrisL comes from New Jersey but he can confirm.

A cursory search shows no upcoming flights to Bonaire on United from either EWR or IAH. AA no longer shows availabilty from MIA.

The...

Mel,

True about the antigen test for the US.

But this is not intended to be the the third thread on the same subject. The Musings thread was up to 29 pages of diverse topics and becoming too...

Good news with Delta starting flights to Bonaire Feb 6 and AA plus United the following week....

Thanks, Susan, for the information and links. It is exactly what we are looking for.

Susan also posted this on her InfoBonaire site which is helpful for visitors not on Bonaire Talk:...

Looks like some good info in this thread so far. But it seems the topic is more active on the "Musings" thread. Too bad as this specific discussion will get lost in the hundreds of posts there, but...

Mel,

The Curacao option could be workable, as you say. This lab says it can get results in 24 hours at a cost of 159 ANG/$90:

For us, we would prefer...

The "Musings" thread was getting so long a new one on this specific topic is warranted.

The recent requirements for Covid testing before visitors can return to the US and Canada, means that if...

Ok. That is good news that it is still there.

Thanks for your update.

The visit to Telbo was productive. I had to drop off hardware there anyway but I also was able to speak to a helpful agent. Among the topics discussed were:

The subsidy is expected to be extended...

Ok, that makes sense. I am going in to the office to accomplish a couple of things and maybe I can see if they have revised their procedures so we can get an emailed invoice too.

Yes Petri, we know that the subsidy is from the government. The question is if it has been extended beyond the end of 2020. Do you know?

One would think that Telbo would know, at least in...

Thanks for the reply!

That is quite an interesting Telbo policy. If you have prepaid a year and thus do not need an invoice to pay your bill, you will get one. Whereas if you need a monthly...

The $25 internet and $33 electricity subsidies that were introduced...

Divi Divi's website is still showing 3 flights per day including Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But as Petri says, it was announced here...

Bistro de Paris and Zazu closed permanently prior to Covid. I heard third hand that Harbour Village did not extend the lease as it intended to use the space as part of its in house catering. While...

The ordinance has been amended to clarify the ambiguities I referred to above. In essence, travellers from Europe must satisfy both presence in Europe for 14 days and submit a PCR test. The ordinance...

No need for apologies and no disrespect taken. My point was simply that we could discuss issues and exchange information about renting right here on this forum without creating a unique...

Well Merrill,

Thanks for taking my input into account. I am not sure why you think that sharing your info could not be done on sub-threads here. I would be definitely interested in participating...

I pasted below the full text of the latest announcement from the Lieutenant Governor as translated by Google Translate. Of interest is that the text of the order itself and the explanation section...

Same with me, subject to the cautions Roy has presented to prevent the commercialisation of Bonaire Talk. But in the interim, I don’t think there would be any problem starting threads about rental...

A good observation and an apt menu metaphor. So if they had said “If it ain’t on the menu, you can’t have it”, in this case, words to the effect of “arrivals from other than listed “low risk”...

Thanks Susan.

In the absence of lists of anything other than low risk countries, I suppose we must infer that everywhere else is what they refer to as high risk although they do not explicitly...

I think starting topics in this sub-forum is exactly the right place. Many of us do not, nor want to, belong to Facebook. (Use of the possessive intentional!)

Can anyone point out the list of high risk and low risk countries? Where, for example, does Canada or the UK fit in now?

We have dropped off items at Animal Shelter Bonaire out on Kaminda Lagun. They then sell them at the weekend market.
