The Netherlands Blazers Ensemble Gives Free Concert on Bonaire
September 5, 2008 @ 10:48

The musical group, The Netherlands Blazers Ensemble, is touring the Dutch Antilles for the first time and will be playing on Bonaire, Aruba, and Curacao.  The theme of their concerts is “Brisas di Musica” (Arms of Music).  The Netherlands Blazers Ensemble is a very famous group of professional musicians, who tour all over the world and their performances are always very spectacular. They combine classical music with “world music”, music from other cultures and continents.

Bonaire’s flag day falls each year on September 6th, and a full day’s celebratory events are planned.  Each year, the festivities take place in a different barrio (or neighborhood), and for 2008, Antriol will be hosting the event.

For the second consecutive year, the island of Bonaire plans special events throughout the week of September 20th through 27th, called Love Our Planet Week.

Casablanca Argentinean Grill has some great specials available to its patrons throughout the month of September, including a free lunch!  (Who said there’s no such thing as a free lunch?)

Recently, the Bonaire National Marine Park received a “Bleaching Warning” from NOAA.  When sea surface temperatures (SST) are one degree Celsius (or more) over the maximum monthly mean, the area is designated a “hot spot” and a bleaching watch is issued.

"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
