  I'm kind of freaking out about this!! We are supposed to go on a cruise in the Carribean in April. I'm wondering what my doctor will say. I'm also wondering if the cruise line will refund my money. Stupid awful virus!

  Good thing we didn't go to Jamaica in Dec like we had talked about. DFs friend and his wife went back for their anniversary. They wanted us to go along. But we couldn't.

  I just got back from the Huatulco Mexico on Tuesday night. Everyone one sending me the CDC article while I was away. I went to my Dr Wednesday morning to see if he would test for Zika and he called me paranoid and said unless I showed a symptom to not worry about it. He told me he would be more worried if I had been in Brazil. I didn't see a mosquito while there, just sand flies for the most part. Stay away from bushy/forest areas.

  Per the CDC, only 1 in 5 infected will have symptoms. Just be cautious if traveling and find baby-safe bug spray.
