You never said "in one day". You said "how people get to Bonaire from
Calgary" and I told you how. Now you're setting more conditions.
Next you'll want a limo, free drinks, and a masseur. Make up your
mind.

What flight configurations? Fly into Houston. Walk over to the E
terminal. Sit in a bar until 10:45 p.m. Board plane. Sleep. Wake
up. Leave plane. You're in Bonaire. It's that easy. If the sleep
part doesn't come easy, take a pill or suffer like the rest of us red-
eye insomniacs and crash when you get to the island. There aren't any
time worries because it's not as if you have to get up at 6 or 7 the
next morning to dive. You can dive whenever you want.

Of course. On a real plane, not a puddle jumper. 70lbs/bag for us
elitists plus hefty carry-on space. Free luggage carts in the arrival
lounge, the laxest customs officers in the Caribbean, and you're on
the way in your rental truck to your seaside condo resort. Sweet,
sweet, sweet.

**True enough. I should have been more clear. If I could get a limo, free
drinks and a masseur, then I'd want them, yes.

**Not for me it isn't.

If the sleep
part doesn't come easy, take a pill or suffer like the rest of us red-
eye insomniacs and crash when you get to the island.

**Sleeping all day, once I arrive completely defeats the point.

There aren't anytime worries because it's not as if you have to get up at 6
or 7 the
next morning to dive. You can dive whenever you want.

**I'd like to dive the first day of my vacation, not sleep it away. So,
can't you see how nice it would be if I could get there on the same day plan
as takes me to Belize and Roatan?
