After Bonaire, I spent three days on Aruba. Because all the hotels there are really expensive, I just rented a car and camped on south end of the island. It worked out pretty well, even with some rain showers. I would set up my tent in the evening, and take it down in the morning, then drive into the nicer beaches. The beach I was camping on has a pretty continuous trade winds, which turns out to be a good thing. The wind keeps it cooler and the sand flies down. The last morning I was there they dropped for a bit and I got murdered by sand flies. Aruba was nice but three days of nothing but beach got kinda dull. I did get a sweet tan out of the deal though.
