Andres VanderHorst announced today that official opening of the Inernational Airport of Samana at El Catey will be Feb. 1, 2007. This is the official opening with all the fanfare, not the soft opening since Nov. 1, 2006.
This $80 million construction project is 99.5% completed. And it's whale-watching season there. Sweet.

Caravan

Jasper, I like your description of the caravan from SDQ,
but choppers are the transport of choice.
Jeepetas are so pedestrian these days!

Of course everyone's travelling in choppers these days. With Santo Domingo traffic so bad it's approaching total gridlock (see Nals post on Forbes Most Congested Cities) everyone whose anyone is taking to the air.
