Deadly swine flu virus in Mexico

[Diana]

Here is a test to see if you have swine flu:

 

Do I have Pig Flu? - Do I have Swine Flu?- Do I have H1N1?

I don't have insurance... booo! But I do have an Rx savings plan which I think brought it down to around 90-something so that's good! My doc even gave me a refill on it - not sure what that's all about...?

Leaving for Puerto Vallarta in 10 days. I can't wait.....

 

I had a co-worker just return with 40 wedding guests on Sunday from Cancun and she said all is good. She is even prego and didn't have any worries. There were 4 small children with them and again everyone is healthy and had a wonderful time.

 

LADIES SERIOUSLY NO WORRIES....

 

This morning CDC announced that this strain of Swine Flu is more minor than the common flu. I get the flu every winter, it sucks for about 2-3 days but hey I'm alive and healthy....

 

Happy Mexico Wedding everyone...

 

PS yesterday was my legal day it was a hoot getting married at the court house. so funny

 

 

I would love to post pictures but for some reason I am not able to weird.

Oh yeah almost forgot I got my Tamiflu medicine yesterday and the pharmacist laughed okay not literally but she said this is blown out of porportion. She told me she has had over 10 people in this week with confirmed swine flu and they walked right in fever and all and picked up their medicine and are still alive and healthy....

 

She said wow can't wait for cold season, with hype like this, it is going to keep me in business...... She said before this swine flu scare CVS pharm was getting ready to do layoffs and now they aren't

 

strange......

 

So lesson learned:

Positive Swine Flub results

1. swine flu is keeping CVS pharm in business

2. Airlines are canceling direct flights and my guests have rebooked with connecting flights and saved half their $$$$$. My FI and I alone saved $328 on our flights yeah

3. I spoke to someone at Dreams PV yesterday and she said it isn't busy there and that they didn't have to make restaurant reservations or spa you can just walk right in and she said the service is amazing.

KLila- Congratulations on your legal day!!!!!

 

HotTamale - those pictures made me laugh so hard.. thanks I needed that

 

Heidi LK- thanks for the info on the Grand Palladium Punta Cana: do you have a recommendation of what section to stay in between the Bavaro, Punta Cana or Palace? We prefer something closest to the beach and the action.. without it being super loud.. Thanks!!

KLila - NICE! Funny about CVS pharm! I can believe it though with Tamiflu being $122 a pop!!! YAY for y'all saving so much on flights! Double yay for the ease of restaurant scheduling at Dreams Glad to see some positive thoughts!!!

Hi Ladies - been following this thread for sometime. My heart goes out to all you and sending lots of "good wishes and thoughts" your way that everything works out. Our wedding is on June 6th (one month to go!) - we're hoping this blows over!

 

In the meantime take out our aggression on swinefighter.com

Does anyone have any experience with the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar - in Cabo?

 

They have a cancellation policy for guests who booked through the wedding block of rooms. According to their policy, if guests cancel within 30 days, they will be financially penalized for their entire stay.

 

Our wedding in on June 13th and while we are hopeful that we can go forward, we wanted our guests to have as much time possible to decide whether they feel comfortable going - without being financially obligated more than they already are with their flights.

 

We just learned that the Sheraton is NOT adjusting their cancellation policy!! This seems ridiculous to me that the Sheraton is being so inflexible. And frankly this may lead to us cancelling or wedding entirely!! We are worried that - if forced to make a decision in the next few days - our guests will cancel rather than assume the financial obligation.

 

Just wanted to know if anyone has any insights in working with the Sheraton.

 

Thanks!
