My dad has the highest governmental position in a Caribbean island called St Vincent. I have noticed that JetBlue is expanding their Caribbean destinations. We are currently in the progress of building an international airport. Once completed, it would be great to have JetBlue flying down to it. It would surely increase the amounts of tourists, and encourage us to step up our game in all of our industries. Glad to see JetBlue on the move.
