The winds of political change are sweeping across Bonaire, and the tiny island has chosen a memorable date to commemorate the occasion. On 10/10/10, Bonaire will no longer be part of the Netherlands Antilles, but will join sister islands Saba and Statia to become a municipality of Holland. And some good news for American travelers – in January, the U.S. dollar will become the island’s official currency. To plan your Bonaire vacation, check out our travel specials and stay tuned for coverage of the mountain biking scene in our August/September issue.
