Ploop! The Abundant Pregnancy Journey

---

What are your top stressors right now, and how do you combat the effects? How do you like to get your exercise in? How did motherhood change you? What are your best tips for expectant first-time moms looking to prioritize their wellness pre-baby? Green and clean your life: I am an advocate of aiming to reduce exposure to toxic load pre-pregnancy. Detox your pantry, medicine cabinets, vanity and makeup bag so that you can eliminate harmful ingredients that are attributed to hormone disruption, cancers and other illnesses.

When women have challenges with getting pregnant, the first thing we do is detox the lifestyle to see how toxicity may be affecting fertility. And perhaps most importantly, it helps keep you comfortable. It helps to increase blood flow and alleviates some of the discomforts associated with pregnancy. I developed my own prenatal practice that made me feel strong and capable. I learned how to tune in to what was happening in my body and ease my mind through meditation and deep breathing.

Yoga also informed my birth ritual from beginning to end. I was able to relax into my breathing techniques at the onset of contractions, and I visualized the baby moving farther down the birth canal during each contraction. I knew that every sensation was taking me closer to bringing the baby into the world.

Nothing is sustainable without community.

Surround yourself with people who are your elders in this process and who have the skills and resources to help support you. Make yourself at home with your sister circle.

Ask questions of mothers around you, and gather resources. Choose a mixed group of women, including seasoned mamas and single friends. Variety is key here for a few reasons. First, veteran moms know exactly how to make themselves useful, are often efficient and usually know their way around the kitchen, so meals will be taken care of.

Your single girlfriends, on the other hand, can run errands, grocery shop, answer phones, help clean and hold the baby to give you a few minutes to take a shower! Favorite New York City resources for living a well life? This is such a treat to be able to share some of the places that bring me peace and solace. Omileye E Achikeobi-Lewis Average rating: Want to Read saving…. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Refresh and try again. Bettina Joy de Guzman. Omileye Achikeobi-Lewis rated a book it was amazing. Jan 23, Omileye Achikeobi-Lewis wants to read. The Gift by Hafiz. A — Based on the information you have provided, it would appear that your agent is seriously undercharging you.

Charging for hotel reservations is now standard industry practice. The trouble is that hotels are notoriously slow in paying agents these commissions so there is often a great deal of back-and-forth paperwork. There is some good news. You have a choice. You can always book you hotels directly. You can and should demand a refund of the travel agent commission because you booked direct.

If you go on one of the online sites be prepared to be treated as a statistic and know that there is a good likelihood that the best-located rooms are not going to be assigned when you arrive. You can assume that your travel agent is making next to nothing on your airfare unless you happen to be a First Class flyer, which, we suspect, is not the case.

There is a general rule you might want to try to understand: That sounds pretty swell until you realize that the only fees you will actually save are the small fees assessed by your agent. You will still be charged the agency commission by the hotels, the auto-rental firms. You can kick and scream but they are going to charge you anyway.

That appears to still be legal. It is the secret no one wants to tell you because it involves huge profits for billion-dollar corporations. They absolutely want you to book with them directly so they can double and triple their profit on your transaction while giving you nothing in return except a short chat with Harry or Harriet Headset who are clueless about you and your vacation.

Q — This airline business is uniquely frustrating and I am wondering if they make it intentionally tough to cash in miles? I currently have miles and elite status with American, Alaska, and United Airlines. I get e-mails and notifications but it is all very confusing and I tend t just give up and pay whatever they ask me for. Is there some way to make this easier?

I do a lot of flying at age 73, but it is now mostly to visit family and friends. Two of my children are studying abroad, one in Milan, Italy and the other in San Paolo, so there is a good bit of traveling. I just hate the idea of leaving miles on the table. This is a well-run site and we have recommended it to our friends. You should advertise a bit.

There are a number of strategies but we don;t want to give you a strategy that is too challenging. You can affiliate with a travel agency that does a lot of business air ticketing. They will have a program where, for a fee, they will keep careful track of your miles. They use computer programs that do this for them, Or, you can do it yourself by using one of the better Apps that manages airline miles.

The two best are Awardwallet. Thank you for the advice. This site, as well as our others, is primarily designed to help our own clients navigate the complicated world of travel planning. Q — We are off on our second trip to Europe, following London last year. We love Deli food in the US, being New Yorkers I suppose that is not surprising, and we are wondering if the Delis we see listed in Venice and Florence are going to look familiar and have some of the sandwiches we love. We really hate to take the time to eat a sit down lunch — we far prefer take-out Deli food and a stroll in the park.

But the ritual you describe is very Italian and you should seek out shops in Italy bearing titles such as gastronomica, bottega alimentare, and salumeria a store that features salami. Italian delis are wonderous places and the adventurous traveler will find a wide variety of things to enjoy on a park bench or back in your hotel room. Whether or not you will enjoy sharing your Italian deli products with the pigeons is another story. Q — This is only marginally a travel question.

My wife is extremely concerned about the environment and the lack of cleanliness in American cities compared to what we have seen in our travels. America really is a garbage dump in a high percentage of our cities with litter and filth everywhere. A — We will take this as a serious request, although there are a great many small towns in New England, the Midwest, the South, and the Western States that would seem to be cleaner than the city you are describing.

But if you want an itinerary — fly north and go to Ottawa, Canada. There are dozens of programs in the Canadian capital designed to keep the city clean and livable. Our favorite is the annual Spring Cleaning Program that starts every April 15th and lasts a month. Calgary has a well-planned grid system that reduced traffic and pollution. There is a terrific light rail system and any number of transfer stations that sort through every citizens garbage removing recyclable and biodegradable materials. Fly to Honolulu, the cleanest large city in America.

The city is covered with a transportation system using pollution-free buses that are the envy of city planners from all over the country. Or — just get your wife a new vacuum. Let her know that, while we may not be the cleanest country in the world, our Olympic Curling team is really good.

One bit of advice we need concerns credit cards. We took out an American Express card because our travel agent said it was reliable. We also like the way American Express totals everything when you get your bill. Our agent, who works for Celebrity, also said we should pay for everything in dollars as it makes it easier. Also wondering about dress for this trip. The agent said it might be warm and to bring some summer clothes but not shorts. Any comments about this would be appreciated.

As I said, this is all very new to us.

Since it would appear that you have only made deposit and not a final payment, take the booking away from Celebrity and sit down with the best local travel agent in your town. Have them take over your booking. The job of someone in reservations in to get your booking. There are several different cards and each one carries different benefits and features.

This is a total rip-off. Amex has some co-branded cards that carry this benefit. They are also less readily accepted by merchants abroad than Visa or Mastercard. That will assure that the currency conversion is done by your bank utilizing the official rate. This will negate costly commissions and conversion fees abroad. July has seen heat waves with temps reaching degrees for the past two years. You can wear shorts in that weather but it would be better to wear lightweight slacks given the likelihood that you will be touring churches and buildings of historical importance.

Q — We recently checked in to a Hilton at the airport in Rome. I was really disappointed with my room and I went to the front desk and reminded them that I had made my reservation with one of the largest online agencies and that I personally post frequently on Facebook, Instagram, and TripAdvisor about my travel experiences. This did not seem to do a lot of good. Finally, I asked for the manager on-duty, who explained that they were sold out that night and she could not make a change. How should I deal with this in the future to obtain an upgrade?

I certainly feel that with my postings, I am influencing lots of their potential customers but they do not seem to want to hear about it. A — When you are shown to a disappointing room you should politely walk back down to the front desk and ask to speak to the Rooms Manager or the Manager on-duty. Explain why this trip is important to you and keep your tine low and polite so other guests do not hear your conversation.

Most of the better travel critics we know have years of hard-earned credentials. You should not be assigned an inferior room.

But you booked on one of the online sites and you were, we would guess, assigned one of the remaining rooms in your category. Hotel chains want bookings to be made via their own sites so they do not have to be paying out commission to third-party web sites. When it is noted that you have been brought to the property by a discount online agency, you should expect less than VIP treatment. If you care about your accommodations, have your travel consultant VIP you or write a short note tot he Hotel Manager in advance explaining why you worthy of upgrade consideration. Travel industry staff are so tired of hearing this from consumers headed their way that it has become an industry joke.

Most hotel staff have a healthy disdain for opinions posted about their properties online. They realize that the internet has proven itself to be the most perfect vehicle for the dissemination of misinformation ever devised. Q — I fear I may be ridiculed in your pages, but let me explain that there are certain liquors and tequilla that I really prefer to what is offered in Business Class on the airlines I fly.

The flight attendants tell me there is no way to legally bring my own liquor on the plane but I just wonder if you guys know of a work-around. I do not have a drinking problem — I suppose my real problem is that I am a snob when it comes to choosing my alcoholic beverages. Am I out of luck? A — Actually there is a work-around. TSA rules require that any liquids be clearly displayed and carried in small bottles not to exceed mil.

Just try to find the mini-size bottles of your favorite brand and keep them in your carry-on next to your hand cream and cologne. They have to be kept in a clear bag for inspection. But they are totally legal. You can drink them at your seat but absolutely are not allowed to open the mini-bottles by yourself. Only a flight attendant is allowed to do that. You are permitted to purchase a bottle of liquor from the duty-free airport store and you may request that a flight attendant open it for you aboard the aircraft.

But do not attempt to bring the bottle with you when connecting to another flight. It will be confiscated and show up at a TSA Supervisor party weeks later. Q — I have been reading this material religiously but I keep coming back to one piece of advice you gave some time ago. Wondering if you are still suggesting that it is really dangerous to drink coffee aboard an aircraft. If there was an issue — it would seem like the airlines would have fixed it by now. Are you really suggesting that I bring a cup of Starbucks aboard my future morning flights? A — Dangerous may be too strong a term.

That makes it possible for storage tank well-documented bacterial content to exist in the water. Our own investigations into this subject have never uncovered a single aircraft where care was taken to boil the water being served to passengers. We have never, for example, encountered an airline that used sealed bottled water to brew coffee in coach. You drinks their coffee and you takes your chances!

This is very much a budgetary issue. The cost of using bottled water versus the storage tank water filled by airport maintenance crews would be significant. This is a bottom-line issue. So, yes, absolutely board with your own Starbucks. Can this be easily done and any advice?

This is a definite bucket list item I want to complete before my 40th birthday. Bucket lists are not supposed to begin until you are at least fifty years of age. The Ferrari California is, of course, the model everyone wants. But the cars are rarely rented for less than a week. The costs of transportation are just too high.

The real cost is when they have to fly out a techie to show you how to use the car. If you can avoid that, the cost is much less. This is one of those situations where you need to know exactly what you want and then call the top three companies in the market for price quotes. And make one of those calls to the exotic car department at Hertz or Avis. We believe that you will find that costs vary tremendously. We live in Pasadena and the non-stop flight from LAX was perfect.

Now, we have been notified that they are operating their last flight in January. Given the sharp reduction in business, Alaska, along with several other operators, have cancelled or reduced their operations to Cuba. There are several intertwined issues here one of which is the fact that laws in Cuba currently require heavy percentages of Cuban hotel and tourism industry ownership. This basically means that if you construct a new hotel, there is a likelihood that your partners will be Cuban military and government officials.

We have been advising that travel to Cuba should be postponed for 24 months. We now think that a more realistic timetable is five or six years assuming new construction plans with ownership adjustments can be implemented by the current administration. The information about spending money in their country is a bit contradictory. Do we just bring a bunch of singles, do we use local currency for best results?

What is the best strategy? As Cuba is opening up, we think you should increase your coverage of questions related to this destination. A — Actually, Cuba is closing up last we looked. If you found anyone willing to accept US dollars you would be totally ripped off. Cuba hosts many European tourists. The strategy that is the simplest is bringing in Euros for your shopping and incidentals. They are readily accepted and the exchange rate is quite fair. Leave your dollars in the room safe aboard your ship.

As I write this it looks like the US is moving the Israeli capital to Jerusalem and I am headed to visit several parts of the middle east, including Iran, where protests could be an issue. I also have to meet with manufacturers in India and China, not always in the best of locations. Any hotels you might avoid and any recommendation as to whether or not I should plan on purchasing a satellite phone just in case internet is disrupted. I worry about that more than anything as I imagine CNN will not always be available.

Thanking you in advance. A — There are several questions here so let us break them down as clearly as possible, point by point: My fiance and I had no idea you needed one and it appears that for certain trips you do. This is just a vacation at a nice hotel we booked using points. Our agent never mentioned that we needed a passport.

What should we, could we, do at this point? A — First, initiate legal proceedings against your travel agent. You are going through a lot of hassle for no reason. Secondly — don;t worry — spring into action. Use one of the better passport and Visa Processing firms like A. Briggs and ask for a hour expedited passport. They will tell you what to do or you can use their web site. Unless you have committed multiple felonies, you should, at a rather steep cost, be able to get passports within eight days on an expedited basis.

Q — Really wondering if you might help us. We are starting to do a lot of traveling as we have come into some unexpected inheritance. The obvious start is to begin in Canada and Scandinavia where we keep reading people are actually open and friendly, something that just strikes us as worthy of support. There is no reason for us to explore while having to deal with really obnoxious locals who have no appreciation of the money we are spending to share and understand their culture. We realize this is not scientific but if you could list some of the most unfriendly places we would be appreciative.

If this is too subjective — no problem — love the site anyway. Q — My girlfriend and I are vegetarians, world travelers I suppose, fans of modern art, foodies to a degree, and, of late, folks who enjoy nudist activities. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. The government tourist board has been promoting holidays for naturalists and they hope to ensure naked tranquility by placing several warning signs about the designated area so the unsuspecting family might not just wander in to their skin wrinkled encampment.

We think you will have a lovely time and the people you will meet in the park will advise of other areas of the city where nudism has the blessings of the authorities. There are a reported 2. Is it time to switch to another carrier if we can find space? American has agreed with the pilots union to pay pilots double what they would normally earn for flights they take on during their previously, and erroneously, scheduled vacation time over the holidays.

This seems to have worked well and it now appears that all flights will be fully piloted. Nothing at all to worry about at this stage except for the normal Christmas airport chaos. If you fail to do this you may be spending your Holidays at a terminal Cinnabon. Q — We love the island of Anguilla and have been going there for years since your firm was kind enough to plan a vacation for our family after Cuisinart opened. We are wondering if you could update us on the status of the best properties since Irma? Thought we would inquire on this public site as we know there are others interested.

Belmond Cap Juluca — Had been closed for renovations during storm — scheduled to open late Four Seasons and Residences — Currently scheduled to re-open April Malliouhana — Plans to re-open in April. Wondering what you think of the service generally and whether or not it is true, as she has told me, that they are half the price of normal taxis to and from the airport? Really enjoy this site but wish there was much more information that would be helpful to business travelers. Are you planning on increasing your business travel coverage? A — There are a few variables here that make your question difficult to answer with any degree of precision.

Some of these have to do with the specific airport, whether or not you are using regular Uber or Uber Black, and the time of day you will be traveling. Uber gets really expensive about 1: Uber, and their competitor Lyft, are fine if saving money is your goal. We think that people who use these services do so because they are unaware of just how dangerous a ride tot he airport is statistically.

It is considerably more likely to cause your death than a terrorist attack abroad. The Uber Black program is more expensive but it has the better vehicles and the more professional drivers. Because they are using their own vehicles, we place more faith in Uber than the average big-city taxi driver. That would be our last choice. You will find some comparative pricing in the chart above. Finally, I am afraid that we have little interest in business travelers.

If you are late for your meeting in Omaha, you will survive. Warren will see you another time. But if someone screws up your vacation, the time of the year you worked those other fifty weeks to enjoy, well then we take that personally. There are some wonderful web sites dedicated to business flyers.

Traveltruth Q&A Archive

I am not really thrilled with the ports and wonder if we are entitled to some sort of major discount for this change in itinerary. I can;t believe how these cruise lines hide behind Irma to make all sorts of changes. A — Yes, it really seems unfair. Of course if you had, you would not find any port tours operating and your only option ashore would have been to help with the rescue plans in some way. In fact, Royal Caribbean sent ships to San Juan and rescued thousands. Really appreciate the opportunity to learn all this stuff in such a neat way with no sales pressure.

My question has to do with the summer just past and all of the heat issues. As we will be flying out of New Orleans next July, we are wondering how heat can affect flights and if they cancel them when it gets near or over degrees? A — High temps make it necessary for planes to reach a higher than normal speed to take off in extremely hot weather. This has to be accomplished even though their thrust performance is limited by the light air. If you look at these factors you will see that only only can be controlled and that is weight. So in really hot weather, either fuel, cargo, or passengers must be removed from the plane.

The first is a safety issue, the second is highly profitable, which leaves fewer passengers as the only viable alternative. Both airports have rather short runways, a safety issue that should have been corrected years ago. The airport with some of the most serious heat-related take-off issues are Phoenix and Denver in the States and Dubai, Hong Kong, and Bangkok overseas. Long distance aircraft like the new Boeing Dreamliner will see the greatest number of passengers bumped for weight issues because the Dreamliner is used on longer routes requiring full fuel tanks.

The single-aisle jets like the Boeing or the Airbus A will be impacted less with the exception of the short runway airports mentioned above. But the recent storms have created a great deal of confusion regarding the status of the various islands and major resorts in the Caribbean. Do you have any information that might help us? A — We are pleased to give you a list compiled by the reporters at Travel Weekly Magazine. If you Google Travel Weekly, the highly-respected industry magazine, you will find an island-by-island analysis along with status updates of the major hotels on each island.

The reality is that the travel industry press generally provides far more detailed information that the popular consumer travel press. Here is the current update. Warm congratulations to your daughter and your family. The following islands were outside the paths of Irma and Maria and suffered little or no damage from the storms: I was not aware of this.

Thank you for your help.

How To Practice And Prioritize Self-Care With Mama Glow’s Latham Thomas

By all means pay another visit to the funsters at the DMV. Our recommendation is that you bring some bocce balls with you. We like to organize a game while waiting to hear our number called. Q — Our travel agent here in northern Virginia, has fixed us up with a really nice tour program created by a company called WildChina. I wonder if you know anything about this company?

Tourists are said to give out red tins to all the guides, policemen, baggage handlers etc. What exactly should we bring along — our TA knows nothing about this. Finally, a personal question. Would you consider taking over this booking if that could be arranged? A — If we thought your travel agent was misleading you or not up to the task, we might help you. But we suspect you have an excellent agent and it would be inappropriate for us to get involved at this point. We think you are in excellent hands and your agent will direct the kind of guides and touring WildChina will provide.

They have won numerous industry awards and they work with Virtuoso and several other well-known premier agency groups. Your friends are a bit confused about the skin cream advice. You don;t need to bring face cream to China to distribute. They have plenty and, you will note, the Chinese take great pride in their complexions. This story may have originated in a Wall Street Journal story that talked about the habit of Chinese tourists, particularly those traveling in Egypt, who bring dozens of small gifts of Tiger Balm and other soothing lotions to give out in Lieu of tips.

But this is not recommended for American tourists. The best way to show your appreciation in China in a short, sealed, handwritten note with cash inside and, perhaps, a photo of your family. I am thinking I would like to visit North Korea just to get my passport stamped and to stay for a few days.

Ploop! The Abundant Pregnancy Journey by Omileye Achikeobi-Lewis

How can I best do this? If we knew we would, quite honestly, never share the information. We want to go to a Caribbean island in February. There is availability for a ten-night stay and the rates are fine. Do you think you we will be OK to move forward with these arrangements. Make it clear in that document that you will be entitled to a multi-million dollar settlement should there be any medical issues based on your decision to stay on the island. Then, when you get the document, tear it up in front of whoever hands it to you and explain that the health of your wife and newborn baby comes first.

There are serious warnings about travel to that, and many of the Caribbean islands, if you are pregnant. You must not even consider this vacation. The rule is quite simple — if you are pregnant or have any possibility of getting pregnant, avoid travel to those islands that have a Zika-virus bearing mosquito population. Because Zika infection during pregnancy can cause severe birth defects, pregnant women should not travel to the areas below.

We have listed the countries where Zika is an on-going issue. Somehow, tourism promoters and travel agents rarely talk about Zika anymore. It is a serious reality for pregnant women and, as you can see above, it is a widespread medical phenomenon. I can tell you who has the longest flights currently Singapore and I pretty much know the schedules. Is there a longest ever route coming out soon that you can discuss?

A — This is all a part of current airline planning and most of it is kept quite confidential for competitive reasons. The airline really pushing this development is Qantas which wants to initiate the longest flight ever, from Sydney to London in a projected 20 hours and 20 minutes, according to USA Today. The goal is to achieve this distance capability in new aircraft by If the planes can be delivered with the capabilities Qantas is requesting, the aircraft would be able to fly non-stop New York to Sydney in just about 18 hours. This hour flight will cover more than 9, miles. You should add it to your list.

I have the feeling that you have a favorite airline that you fly and wonder if you might share this information with your readers? As a general comment, we would like to see much more on this site about airline quality and policies. A — There is a certain percentage of fliers who will choose Air France for the quality of their croissants in the morning. And fliers from the US do not need to have their checked luggage with them to go through passport control. Changing planes in Canada is just a more convenient process.

Talk to one of the frequent flyers who has discovered this secret and they will rave on about the fact that Air Canada has some of the newest aircraft in the sly, that they have invested heavily in high-speed moving sidewalks and baggage belts, and, joy of all joys, extremely nice airport clubs with shower facilities.

But what we like most about Air Canada is the fact that in all three of its international gateways, arriving and departing flights from the US arrive in the same terminal. This, say the most savvy flyers, can often save a half hour or more off the connection time. Then there is this …………these Canadians are some of the nicest people on earth and you might run into Justin at the airport. My wife and I are looking forward to a life of at ;east one or two longer international trips per year, assuming there is no wall that will be built to keep us in the country. My wife has two specific questions: Should we be concerned about deep vein thrombosis and, if so, what should we do about it, and should there be a problem with getting off the aircraft in a hurry, is there a safety factor involved in greater seat pitch?

In other words is it safer, in an emergency, to be seated in Business Class? A — Thank you for such a fun series of questions. We would suggest that you try to run up miles on the best possible airline mileage credit card you can find. You will be happier flying Business Class. Yes, long distance flights increase your chances of thrombosis but the evidence on how this works is still fairly sketchy. You can get deep-vein thrombosis traveling by car, bus, or train. The altitude is not necessarily the causal factor. Wear loose clothing with an elastic waist and really comfortable socks that do not cut off your circulation.

Speak to your physician about deep-vein thrombosis as your specific condition will dictate the advice your receive. In fact, sitting on a long-distance flight is one of the safest things you can do on this planet. If you want to worry, think about a strategy to get you safely from the house to the airport.

Statistically, that is, by a wide margin, the most dangerous part of your journey. Q — We will be departing for Tanzania and Kenya next month. Everything appears to be calm now. How concerned should we be about spending one day in Nairobi before flying home? We are also wondering of the hippo attack earlier this month in Tanzania is the kind of incident that is under-reported by the press. IO can;t seem to find out where this happened. Are there types of incidents under-reported to protect tourism? You really should be in contact with the safari provider, who you have not named, to make certain that all of your concerns and fears have been addressed.

Any trip to East or Southern Africa has the potential to literally be the Trip of Your Lifetime but you need to be well prepared by both your travel consultant and your safari company. Hippos kill an estimated humans per year. They are an extremely dangerous mammal and it is well to respect their space.

A year old tourist from Michigan was recently killed on safari in Tanzania, the victim of a hippo attack. She was a well-respected entrepreneur and it was a highly unusual accident. Nairobi is a safe place to spend the night provided you are in a secure hotel. Neither tourism boards, whose job it is to actively promote tourism, and the safari companies themselves, highlight negative news.

There is certainly some under-reporting of these incidents which is one reason that we encourage international travelers to always read several issues of the local newspapers before departure. With Google Translate that is a relatively easy task. Traveling to Africa is serious business. If you are not prepared to pay to be in the hands of the safest operators utilizing the skills of the best guides, we would suggest you postpone your trip until your financial situation improves.

We also suggest that all travelers considering East Africa have a serious conversation with their travel planner regarding the current status of terror group advisories. You deal a lot with things as they are — not as they might be. Is anyone actually working on this? Keep up the good work.

A — It might be fun to get some architect friends and futurists together to do a web site focused on what could be given our current abilities to utilize technology-driven. You would just have to remember that everything in the Airline sector is driven by profit per seat per mile. Passenger comfort is never the prime motivator for design. Actually, Airbus has been working on a new modular system that can transform an aircraft from high-density seating to luxury with lounges and stand-up bars in the time it takes to do a normal turn—around. The goal is to essentially change a re-design of the seating and interior layout on an aircraft, a process that normally takes three weeks on average, to allow completion within a half hour.

This can be achieved by using modular everything and simply sliding out and sliding in seating and other materials. It would be similar to swapping out cargo in the hold — a process that already exists. The exciting this about this project is that it does not require the design of new aircraft. The designs are being developed to use existing aircraft. This project is currently thought to be anywhere from five to ten years away from final application. But we are skeptical. Q — Although we sense your advice has been to delay travel to Cuba for a few years, we have decided to join my brother-in-law and his family on a cruise on Oceania to Cuba.

Our travel agent feels we will be safe but we are wondering if there are any precautions or particularly, things to bring along just in case. If you are drinking in a bar it is likely, but not guaranteed, that the ice in your drinks is filtered. The most important precaution is to put together a small case filled with a travel medical supplies. Also try to locate an anti-mosquito spray with deet. I just assume as a leading country we have the best air traffic technology.

A — Actually that might be an improvement. Trump is essentially correct.
