E.T.
Take precautions. Don't live in fear. I had a tick crawling on me last week. It was a rainy day. I wasn't even outside except to get in and out of my car. A friend had given me a hanging basket of flowers that I hadn't taken outside yet because of frost warnings. I think the tick came in on that. I've lived in tick infested places my entire life. We did a lot of tent camping and hiking when I was growing up. The tick last week was only the 4th or 5th time in 45 years that I've had a tick on me. Only one of those times was I actually bitten.
Mayo Clinic just posted this today. Great info!

Go on the vacation! Pack DEET and you will be fine.
