I mean, can you...

    Sosúa Beach "Renovation"

    Anybody have any idea what this so-called "plaza" for the vendors is proposed to look like after they bulldoze all the charming "shacks" that exist on the beach now? I'm imagining something completely sterile, absent of the trees and the charm. I haven't seen any artist's depiction.

    Free wifi on jetBlue

    When I flew back to NY from SD on jetBlue in May, there was free wifi all the way back to the US, which hadn't been the case before. United out of Newark never has it. My question is for those who use jetBlue: Is it always the case that free wifi is available on the flight?
