I think the trick is NOT to be aware. We didnt see any at NBBC, but Im sure Ben was out there. I do look for the big black bait traps, that means the management is proactive. Once when my daughter was very young and sitting on the great room floor of a beach front villa we saw a tarantula working its way through a patio door, its dead, that one still wigs me out! And I've learned to shake out my running shoes....scorpions! It is the tropics, cant have thin skin! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
