Lots of good stuff in your reply Matt. Thanks for help! The excursion is through RC. My wife is pregnant. Our doctor referred us to the CDC site where we dont really have updates. We are going to take precautions (stay away from standing water. dont stay out too late inland. wear bug spray), but I think we feel it is overblown as well. We will still be very careful.
Toodle your comment was nice to hear. I am one of those people too. Although they leave my wife alone so thats another plus. Like I said above, we are taking extra precautions, but I have confidence we will be ok.
