The EU has issued a travel advisory to Mexico and to parts of the US because of the swine flu outbreak:

It's hard not to get a little paranoid about this when planning a trip abroad. I know it's too soon to speculate whether or not this will affect Americans' travel plans, but I am one of those type A personalities who frets. Although there haven't been any outbreaks reported in Houston yet, a high school outside of San Antonio has reportedly been shut down because of cases there.

I continue to do research about places to see while in Romania, and I continue to ask volunteers who have been there before countless questions. There are internet cafes in Barlad, but several people I've asked are bringing laptops with them so they can blog, email, and upload pictures and videos at night. We're staying at the Raluca Hotel in Barlad, and we will be able to make weekend travel plans with a tour company there. I'm reading my National Geographic Guidebook, surfing the net, and getting excited. Oh, and keeping my fingers crossed that swine flu won't change anything!
