limeex2 - I know all too well that MN is land of 10 trillion mosquitoes but I can't hack it here and especially not on vacation. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I can cover myself from head to toe in DEET and I will still get bit. They'll bite me in the crease near my eye where I didn't get the spray, between my toes, in my ear, even right through the fabric of my shirt somehow. :/ And I get ridiculous welts. I only recently learned that mosquitoes have a blood type preference and, lucky me, it happens to be mine. Type O people get bit something like 80% more than other blood types according to the study.

We went to Punta Cana last year and I was warned in advance of mosquitoes but they never bothered me during our trip. I'm hoping I have the same luck this time.
