Luxury Hotel Stay Turns Into Salmonella Nightmare

Imagine booking a seaside getaway and ending up in the hospital! Nearly 200 people got seriously sick with salmonella at Spain’s Cavanna Hotel, with dozens hospitalized—including kids. Most guests were tourists just trying to enjoy their summer. Health officials think cross-contaminated food is to blame, and the investigation’s still ongoing. If you’re traveling in Europe, maybe skip the sprouted seeds and double-check those buffets! #Health #BodyHealth #TravelAlert

Alaska Airlines Just Hit Pause—Why?

While the airline hasn’t said exactly why, rumors point to a tech glitch with how planes balance their weight.

Tahoe Roadwork Alert: Summer Delays Ahead!

Planning a Lake Tahoe trip? Heads up—major roadwork is hitting U.S. 50 from July 13-25. Expect single-lane traffic (yep, just one lane each way) and 35 mph speed limits on weekdays. Weekend warriors, you’re in luck—lanes reopen then! Businesses stay accessible, but some side streets and driveways might be blocked for a bit. All this for a smoother, safer drive (hello, fresh pavement and new guardrails). If you’re Tahoe-bound, pack your patience and maybe a playlist! #Transportation #LakeTahoe #TravelAlert

Spain’s €6.9k Fine: Don’t Forget This!

Plot twist for anyone heading to Spain: you now need proof of full health insurance or you could get slapped with a €6,900 fine at the border! EHIC/GHIC cards aren’t enough anymore—Spain wants to see real travel insurance. Make sure your policy covers medical stuff (especially if you’ve got pre-existing conditions) and keep a copy handy for border checks. Last-minute insurance is possible, but don’t risk it—buy before you leave! #TravelAlert #SpainTravel #TravelInsurance
