No one knows LT, tired of explaining that I am not going to Punta Cana. Even by Dominicans abroad (to my great surprise).
I admit I kinda like it that way (selfish I know).
Try explaining Las Galeras to people even well Traveled NY/NJ Vacationers... LOL.. they have no clue unless they google it... where that is or what its about.. then you show them pictures and they are like WOW I wanna go there.
I think maybe jet blue thought the Samana Peninsula would catch on faster.. as in immediately.. They only started the Route in like Nov 2013? I know it was Nov, but cant recall if it was '13 or '12.
the Peninsula really is very much still how the OLD Dom Rep used to be, and if it stays that way for a long time, that is just fine with me. Jet blue to AZS direct or not.
