Bedbugs in New York City - Yikes


Recently, I have been researching and mapping my way to Niagara Falls on the New York side.  I've been there twice only thru the Canadian side, but since we don't want to spend the money on new passports, we thought we'd drive over there from Illinois to New York staying within the U.S.
Upon reading a breaking news today on the Yahoo! website,  about an outbreak of bedbugs in NYC, forget it. I'm kinda paranoid about staying in a hotel now after reading this story. 

SAN FRANCISCO - APRIL 30:  Dead bed bugs lay on a paper towel April 30, 2009 in San Francisco, California. Cases of bed bug infestations are on the rise across the U.S. with many people bringing them into their homes after visiting hotels and airports. Bed bugs feed off of human blood.

Apparently, there's been an outbreak of these critters on the west coast too! It's bad enough that we worry about safety issues when traveling, but not being able to sleep in peace andbeing the food for theses uninvited guests, uhh, I think we'll just stay home this year.
