Hospitalization Unlikely

The first order of business after getting off the plane was to go to a place where standing water is prevalent. Somewhat disconcertingly, a sign posted at eye level warned of an unpublicized peril, dengue fever. Fortunately, there were no mosquitoes buzzing about the room in the air-conditioned terminal.

Well, I'll just have to avoid the rainforests on this trip and confine myself to the bars and nightclubs, where one can still contract fevers and headaches. However, hospitalization will be unlikely.
