We hope all our friends are having a great summer and want to remind folks that now is a terrific time to be planning your late-summer or autumn trip to Costa Rica. Even in August, round-trip airfares from New York to San Jose, Costa Rica can be had for about $400. Many people find the best time to go to Costa Rica, though, is autumn — after summer vacation but before the high season begins in December. (Check our airlines post for links)

In other news, we have a note to Dr. Rubinstein from Gabrielle in California, a recent patient:

Hello Dr. Rubinstein.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for a job well done I love my new teeth and everything is a perfect fit (bite). When I come back to visit If my friends in CR and have some dental needs, I will call for an appointment.
