i believe i read somewhere over here that the many hotels in the Caribbean take care of the mosquitoes by themselves. you might want to call some of them and find out for yourself. bahamas is not infested.
well you don't only stay at the hotel. What about the airport?

Ok guys, now I m getting frustrated ;)

I want to book tickets today and still not sure where to go.

Any places that are not Zika infested that has some amazing snorkeling with activities to do as well. Can be any of the islands, Caribbean etc. (Not Bahamas/Bermuda)

I have a very hard time believing it's not everywhere in the Caribbean at this point. Just a question of them actually noticing it or covering it up, etc.

I have it from the EPA's crisis director for Zika himself that there is Zika on St. John. Not an epidemic, but very much present.

Ha, maybe I was struck already by Zika and my brain shrunk instead of my T****.
 Sometimes I feel that way  ;D

You took it too personally.
We're all in this same boat until a Zika Vaccine comes out.
The anti-vaxxers though...I guess nature will sort itself out there ;)

Looking for somewhere to go in February/March for a week. Just want to chill at a beach and pool, and preferably not get Zika. Ideas? Already did the Caymans...
