Shippment

We went through our belongings and sold most of them at the estate sale.  However, there were a few items we thought we would ship to Bonaire. It cost us more to ship the items than they were worth.  We sent four boxes by UPS to Miami for the boat to Bonaire.  As you can see they had a rough trip. Thankfully everything got here in one piece. 

I paired down my US Christmas decorations collection...which was sizable and extensive. These two stocking holders made the cut along with "beachy" type ornaments. These will now be part of the Bonaire Christmas collection. 

 

I also shipped a box of Hatch's green chiles from Costco. Now I will have a supply to try and make some dishes that are Mexican inspired.

I had never thought of shipping food to Bonaire.  We try and live with what is on the island. This is a specialty item that just doesn't exist on Bonaire.

We shipped a metal art piece.  This piece, which was not worth the shipping and import tax, is now hanging up.  It literally cost us ten times what we paid for it to get it from Denver to Bonaire. Sometimes you just do stuff that only makes sense after a month of craziness caused by getting the house ready for sale. It made sense when we were packaging it up for shipping.  Oh well, it filled an empty space.
