Get
those flu vaccinations now
Dear
Traveller,
This manner of address is not meant to exclude our
non-travelling readers. It includes everyone who will be
staying at home and travel the relatively short
distances between home, school or university, and work.
This month we provide you with all you need to know
about the dreaded flu and the very topical meningitis,
which has been sharing the headlines with the (lack of)
electioneering on the front pages of our newspapers. We
also introduce you to the faces behind the voices at the
Travel Doctor clinics in Northcliff and Honeydew, where
we look forward to seeing you soon. |

sad, but it's true. The days are getting shorter and the
mornings a little chillier. It also means we're getting
to the time of year when we are most at risk of
contracting viral infections, such as influenza, or flu.
We offer some preventative tips. More...

towards protecting you and your family. More...

| Fancy a visit to the Burj Al
Arab? | |
| The Burj Al Arab in Dubai is not only
the world's tallest hotel, but is also the only
one to boast seven stars. It features 202 duplex
suites that can be rented out for as little as $1
000 a night... If you're not a hotel guest, you
need to pay a $55 entrance fee, but all is not
lost as it can be offset against a meal at this
"Arabian Tower"! More...
