Carol, You won't regret getting the shop. If you remember I had shingles a few years ago while on St. Martin. Went from my spine down my leg to my calf. Didn't cause the pain that most have, but the oozing that came from all the sores was terrible. Had to sleep on a towel and couldn't wear pants. Perfect vacation spot if you have to get shingles where I did. Lasted 2 weeks. You can read more about it here: http://lifewithldub.blogspot.com/2012/05/a-real-pain-in-[censored]-story_05.html
