Question by debodun: How can I avoid bedbugs on a vacation?
Recent publicity about the bedbug epidemic has made me antsy (pun) about going on vacation. I have enough problems with my house without bringing home critters.

Any suggestions?

Maybe rent a camper van. They are usually cleaned thoroughly after each use. That way you can go to a campground with hookups and you (and any travel companions) will be the only one(s) using the camper (unless you invite someone else in).
