Bonaire can be done for about the same price as Europe.
Book with American Airlines head office in Ireland,pay with card for free travel insurance.The flights across the US and into the Caribbean are well priced.
When you board your Qantas aircraft in Sydney,you will have paid half of what the guy sitting next to has .He will have 23kg luggage allowance but you have 2x30kg with an option of another 30kg more for $50,so take all the gear you want and don't rent .You could have a stopover in LA and take kids to disneyland.
A very special place with beautiful people and an experience you will never regret doing.


Thanks for the tip. No equipment to take with me, at least not this time. When you flew there previously, what was your itinerary? Sydney-LA-Curacao-Bonair with a local carrier for the last leg?

P.S.
Windsurf Place or Jibe City for rentals?

First trip Sydney-LA-Houston TX-Curacao-Bonaire
next time Sydney-LA-NY-Miami-Bonaire. The late night flight from LA to Miami via NY sounds a bit out of the way but it saves you a hotel for the night and most importantly means you don't have to take 250kg of luggage out of the airport and back the next day.Makes a very long trip but the first you see of your gear is in Bonaire. We lived across the road from the airport,100m from the entrance ,less than the hike to your car at Sydney.No noise problem,only 2 big planes a day,1pm and that 4am one-but thats how you tell the time in Bonaire.

Jibe City with Caesar or Bonaire windsurf place with Taty?
Tough choice....

If I go to Bonaire, I'll probably got with Jibe City. They are a JP/NP rental, which is what they sell at SHQ, so...
