Looking for a weekend destination in the next week or so that is zika free.  I already went to arizona.  Any recommendations?  I would be flying out of the NY area.  I am just looking for a nice weekend getaway and I am not the museum type.

a wiki with states/countries infected with zika virus would be helpful. just sayin'

ETA: text PLAN to 855-255-5606 to subscribe to CDC's Zika update line. you can text them a country and theyll reply whether it is infected or not

I'd also like a wiki.  Trying to use my newly acquired stash of B6 miles for the Caribbean this winter, but not sure where to go...

Wouldn't it be silly to rely on an Internet wiki when it comes to a virus such as zika? The CDC map is updated pretty regularly (and accurately).

I booked tickets with AA and they weren't kind enough to refund or reroute me, I even filed a insurance claim with the Ink card, and they didn't honor the term "zika virus" due to I didn't effect me, they will only honor it if God forbid I caught the actual virus...

After all back and forth with AA, they told me to send in a doctors note, sent it, and just got an email saying that I will be refund for my trip.

Unbelievable.

The Maldives?? How does a mosquito even get to MLE? And even so, it must only be talking about mainland, right?

Thailand? Bali? Oiy. It's like the makos.
