Saba Island Bonaire, Caribbean
By: Hannah Harris
Airfare Cost and Schedule
My flight starts in Denver then heads to Charlotte, North Carolina then lands one more time in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten. After all the connecting flights and getting on the last plane the flight will finally end in Saba Island Bonaire, Caribbean. The entire flight time is 14 hours and 35 minutes. For my two tickets altogether on Expedia.com it would cost $1,766.64 with out tax. This trip is from May 1st to the 15th. Though the expedition was long it is worth it to see the grand island of Bonaire, Caribbean.
Lodging
From May 1st through the 15th I will be staying at the Queens Gardens Resort. When I initially roamed in I noticed that there were windows from floor to ceiling and it was absolutely stunning from all the natural light coming in. Just after the key was handed to us we sprinted to our room to see what it looked like. The room was so great it deserves a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, that is literally how fantastic it really is with hot tubes, king size beds, and enough room to spread out in the smallest rooms in the entire hotel. This resort has rooms that have a beautiful views, parking for rental cars and a 4 star rating. Also, many reviews say that all the concierges are amazing now I see why the reports are so impressive. Before we left for this fabulous trip I saw on kayak.com the cheapest suite is the deluxe suite for $200 a night and $3,234 the entire stay. I also found the exact same price for the same batch on a different website called booking.com so it wouldn't matter which site you go to, but I went to kayak. So at this magnificent hotel the room service is at your order.
Activities
The Pool!
Scuba Diving
All around the island is a coral reef. This coral reef became a park in 1987 to scuba divers. Since I have never gone scuba diving then I might go on a tour, but first I have to go to the hotel to get certified. After I get certified I will use the $1950 4 night scuba diving package which includes a 5 night stay in the superior suite. Plus one 4 course surprise dinner. With this package I will only stay in the deluxe suite for only 9 nights instead of 14 nights. So for 4 nights instead of swimming I will be in the Caribbean Sea looking at the volcanic island from underneath the land instead of on it.

Hiking.
When you hike in Saba Island Bonaire ,Caribbean you can practically hike across the island if you stay at the same pace. Also if you go hiking you get a tour guide to tell you about the history and environment in the area. The tour guide can also tell you about the plants, and wild life in the expanse you are in. So when you see that beautiful red, orange, and pink flower just ask the tour guide and he will tell you why.
Problems to Anticipate and Solutions Suggested
My second problem is the safety when you go close to the sea. That is an concern because when you go close to the sea there are no beaches there are just very rocky and steep hills to the sea. So if you fall down it you might break a bone or bruise a bone, and you might get a few cuts too. My solution is to not go to the sea unless you have a tour guide with you.
Last but not least my third problem. My third problem is all of the poisonous snakes, lizards, etc. If the poisonous animals attack you, you can get very sick or something far more loathsome. My solution to this problem is to learn where most of the perilous animals are and to not go there and if you come in contact with a unsafe animal then just walk away or if the animal comes sprinting at you, you have the right to defend yourself.
