Guess what? Summer is almost over! And that means... school is
going to start soon... the heat will begin to dissipate (we hope),
and I am finally going to stop pushing Alaska-- at least until next
until next season! But I do want to say that if you REALLY want to
get in on the very lowest prices of the year...now's the time! This
is it-- the final weeks and counting... the end of the season, and
altho' availability is limited, the prices are as low as they get!
Okay, it's out of my system.
And now for something completely different... For those of you who
may be asking yourselves, "As great and informative about travel as
TripFinder is, why can't they give us some practical information re-
garding travel safety tips?", your query will now be handled. The
following tips are offered for your consideration by the New England
Medical Center: Traveler's Health Service --(how's that for legi-
timate?)
--Before leaving home, make sure you have packed all necessary medi-
cations. And ask your doctor for out-of-state referrals in case
of emergency. (Bring along health insurance identification!)
--Plan a daily route and stick with it. MEN: GET GOOD DIRECTIONS
BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT. And don't drive if you are tired!
--In the heat of summer, food poisoning is a real possibility. Be
careful with packaging, especially those mayonnaise-based sand-
wiches you're taking cross-country. And don't forget to bring
plenty of water, especially in case of emergencies. (If Fido is
traveling with you, please provide enough water for him, too!)
--If you're traveling with kids, use the same good sense you have at
home regarding poisons...i.e., keep the insect repellant away from
them! (No, it won't keep them away from you, as much as they may
BUG you!) (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
--Lastly, when hiking, beware of "Beaver Fever"-- and I don't mean
watch out for the ladies! This is also known more indelicately
as backpacker's diarrhea, from drinking the water from creeks,
etc. Always boil or filter any suspect sources.
Okay, now that your safety lecture has concluded, let's get back to
the raison d'etre for our entire electronic relationship-- VACATION
DEALS!
