About.com is a top ten web site used by one of every five viewers on the Internet, and they are currently hosting a poll entitled, “Favorite Dive Destination.”

Effective immediately, a new Airport Rental Center has opened up just opposite the main terminal exit/entrance of Bonaire’s Flamingo Airport.  Currently, four of Bonaire’s vehicle rental companies have relocated their offices to this location, so vehicle pick ups and drop offs will now be handled at the new location.

The Order of Orange-Nassau (Dutch: Orde van Oranje-Nassau) is a military and civil order of merit created in 1892 on behalf of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. Today, the Orange-Nassau is still the most active military and civil decoration of the Netherlands. The Order is typically awarded each year on the Queen’s official birthday when appointments to the Order are made public.

Bonaire announced today that it is the recipient of the prestigious Islands Magazine/Caribbean Tourism Organization 2008 Sustainable Tourism Award.  The Island was awarded the honor in recognition of their longstanding commitment and leadership role in marine conservation and for their proactive measures in protecting the marine environment.

American Airlines announced today that they are running a special from San Juan to Bonaire (roundtrip) for $234.00 via their Net SAAver Fares.

"Ann is great! She is fun to work with, knows the island, is well connected, and windsurfs. Who could ask for anything more?"--Ron

"As a professional windsurfer and coach of TEAM USA, I have had the pleasure of working with Ann Phelan on a number of occasions. She has always gone above and beyond my expectations to make my travel arrangements to Bonaire. I completely recommend her services to anyone who wants to visit one of the most ideal windsurf locations in the world." --Jace Panebianco

"We love Bonaire. Each time we go, we turn to Ann for help with booking our dive packages and our accommodations - and she always steers us in the right direction. She takes time to understand our taste and budget and works within them. Furthermore, she loves the island. Seeing it through her eyes has given us an even greater appreciation of the beauty of Bonaire and its people.”--Carlea and Geoff Bishop, Alexandria, Virginia

"Making our reservations in Antigua through Caribbean Wind & Sun Vacations was the best decision we made - we got great personalized service from Ann and advice on places to go and things to do. We were even picked up at the airport and were able to get a rental car at very short notice because of her local connections. We had a great time on our 5-day World Cup trip and would definitely go back."--Satya and Adrish (Chicago) / Raj (London)

"Ann made our vacation plans a breeze! Always quick to respond to our many questions, and super recommendations for all the must-do things in Antigua! Many Thanks!"--Renee Rybarczyk
