Bad credit is a big sin to mankind.

My credit cards debt kept me in a complete state of dilemma and almost caused me depression because it was drooped to a very low score of 424. I already had eviction and several collections including car loan, It was obvious I won’t get approved for anything at the same time I was trying to build my business but everything was very tough and difficult until I came across “INVISIBLE FRIEND CREDIT GROUP” on several sites.I decided to email him on invisiblefriend6661 (AT) gmail DOT com . I had to make very serious research because I was afraid of losing my money. Five days after I contacted them, my scores were raised between (TU:760, EQ:790, EXP: 773). Credit cards debt appeared as paid on time, eviction and others were discarded. I was very curious at first until I pulled my report and confirmed the great job done. He also helped me build my business credit. How well should I appreciate INVISIBLE FRIEND CREDIT GROUP for this job well-done other than sharing my experience with GUYS ? you can give them a try for all sort of credit related issues and you will be glad you did. (209) 878 7391) Thanks.

re: luggage inspection

They can go through it after you pick it up because you don't go through customs until you have your luggage in hand. I have gone through customs there many times and have never had my luggage checked. Maybe you looked a little suspecious to them. Illegal drugs are not allowed in the country; there not allower in the Us and Canadas either. You will be arrested.

luggage inspection

Why do they go throught our luggage after we pick it up off the luggage carosall and do they have the right to take things out of it and is there a list of things we cannot bring into the country.

Reply to @Cougar20:

OMG - what if that was your Granny, Mother, Sister, or Auntie? Is your life that horrible that you cannot find anything else in your heart to comment on other than you had to wait! What is this world coming too? You honestly need to pray and search for guidance in your life. HONESTLY

Nice Airport

Open-style terminal building is really cool and highlights the tropical experience you'll have in the Caribbean.

Westjet inaugural flight

Departed from El Catey airport June 2010 headed for Toronto then on to Calgary. Fantastic airport and what a relief from using Puerto Plata and then driving so far. Just wait for the new road to be completed and time to Las Terrenas will be even shorter again. Samana will no longer be the worlds best hidden secret. Visit me at my restaurant in Las Terrenas by sending me an email gordon@insuranceportal.ca. Paradise in paradise.

re: This is not an airport.

Reply to @dominicanpilot: Thanks for the update. The 2008 ICAO Location Indicators doc lists an MDBL as the identifier "Boca Chica/Batey Luisa". Is there a chance that there used to be an airport (or perhaps a heliport) somewhere in this area?

This is not an airport.

This is not an airport and is not used by commertial nor private pilots. there is a new airport not active yet for The Marvelles Caves, but it's aproximately 15 NM east from this location.

The Herrera Airport Has Been Closed to All Traffic And It's Only used as a Landmark

Picture of david

Closed to all traffic?

According to the Wikipedia article, this airport closed in 2006 when airline traffic moved to La Isabela, and the military blocked the runway. There are a lot of planes on the apron in the Google satellite photo, though — could the photo really be three years old? More info would be appreciated.

Principal air base of the Dominican Air Force

This is the main base for the Dominican Air Force. It originally opened in 1953 as Trujillo Air Base, and was renamed to San Isidro Air Base in 1961. According to Wikipedia, most of the fixed- and rotor-wing fleet is based here.

Rough!

The captain informed us it would be bumpy on landing. Bumpy as in severe turbulence bumpy. We made it in fine. The airport is more of a shack. Shows you how they did things in the pre computer era. Imagine checking in hundreds of people using stickers and pens. This is in 2005!
