If you are planning a visit to Bonaire, here’s a great opportunity to see how Echo Bonaire is helping to conserve their endangered wild parrots.

They have very reasonably priced private tours at only $25 per person (minimum 2 people) and I recommend going as early as possible for best views.

You can use United Airlines miles to get to Bonaire from the USA for 35,000 miles plus about $60 in taxes.  Getting one of the Chase sign up bonuses for the United Mileage Plus Explorer, Sapphire Preferred or Ink cards plus completing the spending requirement would get you those miles for simply paying your household bills with the card for 3 months!  See the Chase forum in Flyertalk for current best sign up deals.
