wow, you are lucky....

but you'd better be careful about getting sick, I agree with the others.
I went to costa rica last year and they won't let me donate blood for a YEAR because I was in a high-risk area... they didn't seem to care that i stayed at only five star hotels with sheets that had a 3,000 thread count.

I am not even kidding--my friend got 2 human bot flies while on vacation (the worm burrows into your skin and feeds on you). Google it. It's pretty gross and it was painful.

I love Antigua, just not in summer.

I guess you weren't planning to stay in the expensive room on that vacation. Everyone knows that malaria doesn't happen to people who stay in the best rooms.

No, we weren't. It was all about choices and priorities. It was my priority not to develop a blood disorder before the wedding.

boy, you're no fun.

Plus you might have 'soiled' the nice linens with your blood disorder. That would not have been nice for the next guests.

good point.

I am not sure how easy it is to clean silk-like material.

Well, when it's ONLYsilk like you can clean it pretty easily b/c as we all know silk like is really polyester. Duh...

CINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, my dad does this all the time. He'll say, 'Yep, that happened to a friend of mine, rest in peace old buddy.'

We had one of those open air living rooms in Antigua (one whole wall opened up to the balcony). It was a suite and that seems to have prevented me from getting any diseases. Our bartender made the best Bloody Marys ever and they were like $75 each becasue I have no idea what I am talking about.

Wow you guys had it rough. Compared to the experiences you all had, Malaria seems like nothing more than the common cold!

Did you hear about the new 5,000 thread count they have now? I wonder is they make it for crib sheets.

Do you know where I could find them? Online? I don't care about the money. I just want nice stuff for my little boy. I don't like cheap linens anyway!

This is when I have to chime in and say - you never hear this happening from eating tofu!

Well one of my assistants is vegetarian from the West Indies and she makes everything out of soy chunks. The two of us plan on collaborating on a cookbook taking my favorite meat recipes and making them with soy chunks. We plan on calling it 'Oh Boy, It's Soy - 365 days of safe Caribbean eating!'

HOOF N MOUTH DISEASE IS SO PREVALENT IN SOME AREAS THAT EVEN THE PEOPLE IN THE SUITES ARE NOT IMMUNE.
