    Re: American Airlines Cuts some flights to the DR

    If you were watching the news programs, they said the biggest part of the large profits were coming from the add on pricing such as, luggage extra leg room and the other things they have come up with to try to justify the prices they are charging now.

    The JFK to STI flight lands about 11:00 am. Taxi to Carribe Tours or Metro is 600 pesos or around $17. Bus fare to Sousa is $4 to $5. In total $21 to $22 and you'll be in Sosua by 3:15 at the latest. Much cheaper than a taxi and who knows you might meet your future ex-wife at the station or on the bus.

    I totally made that up in case anyone didn't know.

    PS American's schedule sucks
    Haven't talked to my mother in 23 years. Might as well start cancelling trips and give my money to bums.

    It's all fuzzy math anyway. It doesn't matter where profits come (in only does to the media) as long as they make a profit. It's like on eBay when one guy sells something for a $1 but charges $19 shipping. Another guy sells it for $19 and charges $1 shipping. At the end of the day, seller A seems unethical but you are ultimately paying the same thing for either. Sounds familiar with a certain airline? But people like to bitch and moan anyway even though the total price is the same or in many cases less.

    They happen to eat what we eat, in Medellin. Some of us don't spend 18 hours a day looking for chicas.

    Drives me absolutely apeshit, when I see Americans sitting at McDonalds in Germany talking about how its so good to have food just like at Home. They have only been on the ground for 2 days, and they are fucking starving to death for Mickey D's ? Fucking pitiful . Im guessing they probably do the Same shit in Paris France and Italy too.

    I think it is fun to try new places to eat. You can find chicas in a few hours a day and if you have a few numbers especially for Sunday then you don't have to look at all some days.

    I can get Thai food in the Midwest or any city in the US or get it in Sosua or get it in Medellin it isn't going to be all the same but that is what makes it fun to try. Some pretty good bakerys there in Laureles too.

    The Mexican food was very good in the 4 places that I ate in. Chines food is missing the spices that are required so the 3 places that I ate in were not good at all.

    I had some Mexican at that place next to the Estaban when I went there to check it out. The nachos were served in a odd way in like a popcorn sleave or something instead of on a platter so the meat sort of fell down but they were good. Only Asian food I tried was at the Thai place in Parque Lleras next to Pizza 1969 both places were good.

    So much good food down there you don't have to go very far to find some. I wanted to try Crepes and Waffles but the line was 25 people waiting on the sidewalk to get in the door.
