On The Rise

The death rate from dengue in the D.R. has been higher in the first half of 2010 that at any time over the past four years.

By the course that dengue has taken, and taking into consideration the fact that the disease, declared an epidemic by the Dominican Medical Association, has still not reached the critical point that usually occurs between the months of August & September, there will be a large number of cases and fatalities.

When traveling it would be wise to know how to avoid dengue fever.

Summer Travel

JetBlue is joining other carriers offering onboard food for sale. Five new snack boxes will go for $6 each. The snack boxes will be available on flights longer than three hours & 45 minutes. There will still be free snacks on every flight.

It is reported that May travel was up at major commercial airports- a likely indication that the cash crunch many people and famililies were facing last year has eased and summer vacations are back! So, where are YOU going this summer?
