bedbugs: apparently they often like to excrete your blood even as they are feeding on you).

We have had to have our home exterminated and had to throw away bed, bedside tables and other furniture. A bedbug infestation is NOT somehting you want to mess around with; always err on the side of caution with bedbugs as they are incredibly difficult to get rid of and also incredibly disgusting.

Although this ordeal has cost us $1,000 so far, we do not in fact blame the hotel: bedbugs are becoming a wolrdwide epidemic and hotels are virtually as powerless as anyone else to eradicate them.

:(

So I guess all we can say is traveler beware!
