Thanks for all the responses. Need to make a decision in the next few weeks but I'm hoping the epidemic starts burning itself out by summer.
I wouldn't make a determination on whether or not you go forward with the trip because you MIGHT get Chikungunya. We go 2-3 times a year and have never contracted it nor has anyone in our group. I might be a little more concerned if we were staying on shore, but even then its a small risk.
So my advice - book the trip, go and use bug spray - preferably with deet.
