Fuck them

Bullshit, that’s what I say, if you guys are too sensitive, don’t read. Here is my beef today; we are looking to book a trip, looked at every fricking site you can think of, they are all pretty much in the same ball park, as far as price are concern. Now, here is the fucking scam, one tour operator that should remain nameless, ya right, Sunwing.ca, is advertising “ we pay the taxes” if you book by such a date, fucking ripoff for those un-aware sankie victims wannabe. The scam is, trying to coerce un-educated poor people that save all year for one bleep bleep “vacation in the sun”. For those educated people, we look at all the sites, and then you find out, there is no “we pay the fucking taxes” they just inflate there normal price and voila. You can book the same trip at another site, say for $800.00 per person plus taxes, so far so good, now if you book the same resort, same departure date with Sunwing.ca, did I say Sunwing.ca, there price is $1,075.00 per person including taxes. Where is the cock sucking deal there? They are trying to use an old salesman trick, but not on this guy. Sunwing.ca, can lick my white hairy ass, I will never do business with a supposed to be respectable company, that is trying to lure poor bastard of all there vacation money, or at least the supposed to be taxes saving. And they are the same company that ripped us last time.

We booked a day trip, to go whale watching in Samana on such a day, after that we booked a trip at the waterfalls with Mel’s tours, local guy offering day trip at half the price the “Sunwing rep” was offering, needles to say, the whale tour was canceled to another date, not by us, by the sunwing guy, we found out when we went to our room at the wee hours that the trip was cancelled. So the next day, we wanted to cancel the whale trip, because it was now conflicting with the waterfall trip, nope, no cancellation was to happen, not even after I pleaded with the rep. It was them that cancelled, not us, he said, you go when I said or there is no refund. After a few Catholic words in French, I told him a little bit of what I thought of him, needless to say, either we were going on his terms, or we were out of $200.00 US. Since we had no choices, we went to see Mel’s tour and explain our predicament, well, was I ever surprised, there was no bullshit, no we cant change your day trip, he said no problems, you do your whale tour, and we do your waterfall tour when its convenient to you, no money up-front like the sunwing rep, he said; you don’t pay a pesos until you come back and if you are not satisfied, you don’t pay me at all. How can you go wrong with that. We enjoyed are trip to the falls, that was totally amazing and something all tourist should do at least once in there lives, how can you go wrong, 25.00US for an entire day, booze and lunch included. Lesson learn, don’t trust those rep’s, don’t even go to there orientation bull crap, they will only rip you off.

I am done, excuse my French for a minute, fuck the tour reps and Sunwing.ca
Until next time amigos and bonne nuit
