in Massachusetts-Boston
Hi - I'm really, really sorry to post this, but I read an article in the Boston Globe yesterday and it absolutely horrified me. Apparently, Boston hotels are being infested with bedbugs and aren't being open with guests about their little buggy problem.

There's a way to look at which hotels have them - I thought of all the Boston brides who are going to be celebrating with their families and friends in major hotels and wanted to make everyone aware. If you're on the list, I'd suggest contacting your hotel right away.....these little vampires would be a horrible favor to take home from a wedding!

    Um, I had a bedbug infestation 5 years ago and it was one of the most tramatic experiences of my life.  Seriously, it is so disturbing & disgusting, sometimes I still have night terrors where I wake up screaming thinking they are crawling all over me.  SICK!  I had to get rid of almost all of my furniture & have the exterminator come like 5 times.  You SERIOUSLY don't want to have to deal with this terrible problem!!!

    Yuck! The Hubs was traveling last year to Wisconsin for business and woke up with bites covering him from head to toe. It was awful! He was moved to about 3 different rooms all which also had bed bugs. He finally switched hotels but had nasty bites for about a week. It was so distburbing. We now strip the beds at any hotel we go to and search for bugs! Also, check your luggage. We had his "baked" in an industrial oven to kill any eggs and bugs that may have attached to any of his luggage pieces!

    They had them in a movie theater in Times Sq a couple of weeks ago!

    Actually I might rather go someplace that had them and got rid of them, the other places you never know if they have them and it is untreated!
