I have a couple of cheap round trip airfare options from New York, JetBlue and Spirit. JetBlue goes to Santiago arriving about 1:30 in the morning, and the departure flight leaves about 2 in the morning for a red eye flight to New York. Spirit goes to Santo Domingo, arriving about 10:30 at night, and the departure flight leaves at 8 in the morning for New York. Puerto Plata airports aren't available. I want to go to Sosua.

I have read guidance on this forum on how to catch the bus from Santo Domingo to Sosua, and it seems cheaper than taking a taxi from Santiago to Sosua. How can I get to Sosua early in the morning, middle of the night, from Santiago without blowing the budget?
Also, if the cheaper/better option is to take the bus from Sant Domingo, are there reasonably priced places to stay in SD, (two or three star)? How much can I expect to pay for basic one night lodging in SD?

Unless you have a cheap place to stay in Santiago or want to sit at the bus terminal for 4 to 5 hrs., your only alternative is to take a taxi. A negotiated price is RD1500.00 but expect them to ask for 2000.00+, Taking everything into consideration, it's probably your best option. Hotel will cost you RD1000.00+. The taxis to hotel (Looking for one), from hotel to bus terminal in the AM etc. I dunno. Personally I've written off Jet Blue as a carrier. Too much aggravation. (Of course I'm referring to travel to Burlington Vt.)
