Jetblue
and Delta are having a great sale right now, with $81 one-way flights to
Liberia, Costa Rica. I've been there once, and it is just about everything you
would imagine a tropical paradise to be,
except
that the rain forest is kind of similar to a regular forest in Pennsylvania but
with monkeys.
This
is a great sale...but there is a travel warning due to the prevalence of the
very nasty mosquito-borne Zika virus in Central and South America. It isn't
known to be a big problem in Costa Rica yet, but it apparently can spread very
quickly once one person gets it, as viruses do. There's no vaccine or treatment,
but it usually isn't too serious. However, as far as I can tell, the long-term
effects aren't known, and it is thought to cause birth defects, so you should
probably not head South if you're pregnant. And lest you think this is American
fearmongering, local women in Zika-affected countries are putting off pregnancy
until the virus goes away.
It
is a pretty good sale, though.
