Thanks for your reply Randy. I LOVE Bonaire! We have been there twice before, for diving both times. It is so much fun and so relaxing. We are going to stay at the Divi Flamingo, which isn't too far from the swim activities. We plan to just take a cab or hitch a ride with some other swimmers.
That's interesting that the course is changing this year. I was looking forward to swimming to Klein Bonaire - I saw turtles there last time, when I took a snorkeling tour! I am planning to send you my registration next week. Do I have to decide right away on the 5K or 10K? Since it's not til Nov, I will keep training all summer and maybe I will be ready for the 10K by then. But I am not sure, so it would be great to be able to decide later.
Take care!
