Thanks to all of you for the information. We are leaving this Friday and plan to have a great time!

Infectious diseases aren't the worst thing that can happen to you overseas. Motorcycle accidents may be the greatest cause of injury for travelers. Also, be sure you don't drink while you drive.
Don't tell funny stories while you are a passenger, either. When we were in Acapulco, I told a story so funny the cab driver ran off the road. Does that mean he speaks English?
There is also Hepatitis A and C to consider. Just this week at the Academy Awards' Governor's Ball, all those A-list partyers were exposed to HepA by one of Wolfie's imported food handlers. :oops: So you don't have to go all the way to Mexico for that one.

p.s. the CDC link posted above is excellent. Resorts appear to be bug free if they are on the coast and urban. Don't forget the bug spray, and read up on Tea Tree. If you smell sweet(diabetic, for example), any bugs will find you. If you smell icky, they stay away.
