we are at the high end of the curve ...now begins a competitive war with pricing that some consumers will be very happy to see.....one only needs too see this weeks NYT to see the pricing in other parts of the Caribbean from 275 to 700 dollars a nite

Chauncey, I would have thought RED was not your favorite color!

Josean:

I'm chocked about your leniency with this news, no nostradamus cathastropic predictions yet...

Jet Blue has some deals, but this article is miss leading. note that it says for the first 9 months and we are in the 11 month

Chillaxin:

Do you have the numbers or they do??? who can I believe???

If our President lies his ass off what do you expect from his underlings.

the numbers in this case are good ......as I said we are at the high end of the curve ....It now starts getting more competitive and difficult

There is an article on how many people that they laid off, you must look at the facts. The first nine months. That’s all the way up to September when the economic crisis was not publicized as much.

chill the numbers are correlated and are always two or three months behind....the economic crisis was not a factor when these numbers were compiled.....now begins the dificult part......this from todays NY times.. http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/11....vel/09hours.html?8td&emc=tda1

Rubi,

Its still early, and I haven't had mangu with Macorix 8 yet!

Macorix 8 - good stuff

Macorix 8 and what kellogg's box is that?

Peanut Butter or Chocolate' ?

What growing wholesome Dominican boy would trade Mangu for yucky stale kellogs anything, gatita?

Mangu or starvation, there is no compormise with me!

jajajaja, chill out josean stop being so uptight, you have no sense of humor, jjjeeeeeeeessssssss.

As far as yucky stale kellogg's those don't exists in my pantry, ofcourse they must be in yours, better check and see if they don't have magotts

Oh so thats what those things are. I thought they were protein enhancement!

I know you were joking kitty!

as GC rightfully observes, these numbers were compiled before the meltdown. there is an existential difference between then and now. people who had a 5000 dollar credit limit on their Visa card now have 3000 dollars. the interest rates are also higher, because their credit rating has changed. people with jobs today will be dropping like flies tomorrow. as we speak, mothers are devising alternative strategies for child care, which means loss of work for many providers in that field. but the worst problem is UNCERTAINTY. will i have a job next week? Circuit City is closing 155 stores; will my company do the same next month? consequently, people are holding on to their cash, just in case the crap hits the fan. they are not in a position anymore to put the airfare on their credit cards, we all have to brace for a bleak year ahead. hopefully, the government realises this. by the way, is there any such thing as a government economist here? i know there are many brilliant economists in

the country, but they all seem to be expending their energies writing opinion pieces in Listin Diario and El Diario. why does the government not hire some of these guys for a little guidance, to tell them, for instance, that you do not borrow 80 million dollars to finance recurrent expenditure which has already been incurred?

josean is a hater, he isn't even dominican

?????

ambioriv isn't one either, and who's complaining, no one in here actually knows where anyone is from, think about that one .

kitty,

I am sure you know this so excuse me for stating the obvious.

These PLD KOOL-AID DRINKERS are like the US REPUBLICAN KOOL-AID DRINKERS if you disagree with their neo-fascist agenda you are not a real Dominican or a real American!

pussycat beware of joseans evil intentions ...do not listen to his seductive song of half truths..he only has one thing one his mind ....that is to do to you what the hippo did to the country

Speaking of neo-fascist KOOL-AID DRINKING REPUBLICANS!

Hey guys and girls,
All you doomsday prophets, repent!
Like it was wisely said before,this island is for rich recurrent tourists that come to escape from.....cold weather,
play golf, yearly vacation, check out the señoritas and señoritos (by the Canucks) and so on and so forth.
We are used to calamity, scarcity, flooding, bad weather and havoc. We will still manage and have a presidente on Sunday at the colmado and maybe go on a weekend shopping trip on a yola. (True, some people go to PR in a fast yola on monday and come back on Sunday, no customs).
All is well in DR, the thieves and pirates are at their den like they have been for the last 500 years
and are going on strong!
Keep on trucking fellows...all is good. buy candles though there is little power in the island.
But if you go to the big resorts you hardly notice it unless you read it in the news!

josean:
The blonde in the corner selling aguacates in San Jose de Ocoa was a an undercover police officer!
I did get lucky with her though but she would not put on her uniform for me and model in
scarce attire.
After the fact I did get a lot of "friendly advise" from her. LOL.

well did she put the cuffs on you and rough you up a little......what more could you ask for

no cuffs, she did like it rough though........
There is a new sheriff in town . LOL.

generoso, enjoy the pleasures of San Jose de Ocoa, but exercise enough decorum so as not to abuse the village. that is my heart you are referring to. when i get back there , i expect to see a little more than just debris!

g,

Oh God, that was the wrong corner, I should have been more specific!

Aren't Swedish surgeons great though and you didn't even notice the five oclock shadow!

Well the important thing is that it was as good for you as it was him-her!

A true testament to Socialized Medicine, wouldn't you say Chauncey!

so generoso has met the famous sexual illusionist of San Jose de Ocoa

dread"
i didn't leave any cinders smoking, I was just passing through. I can not lie and have to admit that I got lucky,
I am just a lucky guy I guess.
But no debris in SJO, I even pick up empty cans that other people throw in the streets.
I hate garbage, it it's ugly.
Now dread, don't give me any orders please,
Je suis une dure

The DR should capture the Eastern Europeans, Japanese, Koreans, Scandinavians, and Australians too...

generoso, you mistake the intent of my post. i was simply requesting that you leave the village intact after your rampage. at no time was i suggesting that you would litter the place; wreckage was more in line with what i feared.
