What's a little flu if you can get a great deal? Well, that's my take on it here, and I'm not convinced that those people who talk about "passive" infection are wrong.

But this is travel, not health, so we're all about saving money on your next trip. And if you make that next trip a beach in Mexico, Apple Vacations will save you a lot of dough. The travel provider is offering crazy discounts to Mexico in their "Biggest-Ever Sale" with three nights in Cancun starting at $519 per person, including the flight from Baltimore. Punta Cana starts at $579 for three nights.

That's probably less than what you'll spend in Ocean City this summer, but I haven't heard of any H1N1 flu cases on the Eastern Shore. Just sayin.
