Not that you need the praise, but not going to Morocco is a very good deed. Not like that lawyer a few years ago that flew to Greece for his wedding with a very deadly form of TB. He should be jailed.
Whoa... thats rough. Like other people commented, kudos on looking out not only for yourself and your husband, but for people in Morocco. It isn`t going anywhere like you said and neither is Brazil... return I must and not because the there isn`t a girl left behind... ;)

@Spork: We did get vaccinated, but from what I've read, there is a booster shot you need to take as an adult, and most people (including my husband and myself) don't bother to get. I am not sure if this is REALLY true, but we will find out from our GP when we get back to the states. Until then, I didn't want to chance it, especially since a perfectly good doctor in Spain diagnosed my husband with Mumps and he was definitely vaccinated as a kid.
Booster, huh? Makes sense. With the anti-vaccinationists rampant in Europe, I'm not surprised that childhood illnesses are coming back.
Good luck to you, and maybe you should get a round of boosters for other nasty little bugs?

After 20 years of travel on three continents, our trip to Morocco was the only one we ever cancelled. I can't even tell you exactly why. A few days before our trip (a pretty short flight from Barcelona), DP and I both started to feel uneasy. It's not that we were afraid... we lived in Colombia (and loved it)... but we both had a feeling of foreboding. So we skipped Morocco. As you said, it's not going anywhere.
I'm glad to hear that Drew is on the mend.

I love what you wrote: "Morocco isn't going anywhere..." Yeah, Morocco better not go anywhere yet until I save a ticket to go there!
Traveling sick is certainly not fun, so better to be cautious, for you and others. It gives you some more time to explore Madrid. Glad your husband is recovering quickly.
I normally don't do memes, but just included you in one like the one above. I've enjoyed following your sight these last few weeks. Enjoy your time at home.

Crossing my fingers that you don't have it! Have you been to Morocco before? It's too bad you are missing out. Hope he is feeling better now. On a sidenote, what movies is he watching?

I still can't believe your husband got Mumps! Glad to hear he's on the mend.

I just noticed you are following me on Twitter and checked out your site. I couldn't believe your recent posts are about Morocco and Canary Islands- we are going there in November!
Just a word of advice - as a world traveler and registered nurse, I can tell you that it's important to cover yourself in case of medical emergency. If I could only take one thing along when I travel it would be peace of mind. My MedJetAssist membership. Like AAA - but for the body - bringing you home when you are hospitalized. Most insurance (health and travelers) only transports you to "nearest appropriate facility". NOT best of care. And- do you really think that money doesn't determine a lot of that decision?
Accidents happen to anyone - and we are more likely to be injured when in unfamiliar environments. Anyway, this is a hot topic for me - and just wanted to let you know what travel gurus like Rick Steves, Peter Greenberg, and Rudy Maxa all travel with - medical evacuation membership.
We are traveling to Morocco and Canary Islands with peace of mind that we are one phone call away from home... :) Bon Voyage! Anya Clowers, RN www.JetWithKids.com
