Default Thank You From Paradisetrans!!!!!

Since this has been a very important site for our business, we want to share our news. JJ was approved for his immigrant VISA to the US on Tuesday!!!!!! We have been waiting for 3 years for this day to come.

We contemplated keeping Paradise Transportation working but because we have built our business on recommendations & have tried to provide the best service possible to our clients we have decided to close it indefinetely. We do not want to tarnish what we have worked so hard to maintain by leaving people in charge that may not provide the quality that we strive for.

We want to Thank everyone that has put their trust in us not only for their transportation needs but also those that have recommended us, even w/out having had met us. Of course, Luis Midence(Hillbilly) is at the top of our list, without any gain for himself, he helped push our business to the top w/his great recommendations, we see him as our godfather & will be eternally grateful.

Many thanks to Gregg Andrews for his many recommendations on this site as well as other sites.

Rocky, Thank You also, for your trust in us, especially for recommending us to clients staying at Rockys Bar.

Relosk, Tamborista, DRTampa, Bigbird, jackquantee to name a few but there are so many more, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for your support, without it our business would not have grown & we wouldn't have been able to keep the family here together waiting for JJ's paperwork to come thru.

We have not decided how long we will stay in the US, but be assured that if & when we decide to come back to the DR, Paradise Transportation will reopen once again.

JJ/Rocio

Sorry to lose you all but can only hope that life is good for you two and the kids in the US of A...
This is North Carolina's gain and our loss.

You earned every bit of the great reputation, and leave us with some work to do to fill in the spaces..

Best of luck!

JJ was the very first person I met in the DR via a Hillbilly reply to a post. I will never forget that day. JJ went out of his way to locate a different hotel for me as the one I reserved was not quite up to par. JJ easily spent an additional hour riding around to find something suitable and never asked for an extra dime. I was so pleased I reserved JJ for my transpo for my day of departure. JJ picked me up that day and as usual he went above and beyond the call of duty by providing me with a side tour of Santiago. The real shocker was on another trip to the DR when JJ picked me up at the airport and insisted I stop by the house to meet his wife and daughter. Yes, JJ provided an excellent service but he seemed more like a friend.

Again the best of luck to the both of you.

Great news!

All the best in your new life up north...JJ you showed many of my buddies places they never would have seen in La R.D. I will never forget the time everything was closed on a Monday, and I had to hear live Tipico music. You made a few phone calls and found it!

If you ever make it up to NYC, please look me up.
