A couple of years ago, my five-year old daughter and I were flying from Toronto to Tampa to visit my parents who were wintering in Florida. Unfortunately when we left, my daughter had a mild illness (just the kind of routine thing that kids get) and had been prescribed liquid antibiotics for it, as at […]

I’ve been to Dubai many times since 1998; my last trip in 2008 was like the rest except this time I’d taken certain precautions.
