Warm weather vacations will be extra-risky this year.
Zika has been found in mosquitoes in much of the American hemisphere south of Florida — and the entire Caribbean. That leaves few options for virus-free travels.

Here are 11 still (relatively) warm places to go this winter where you won't have to worry about the virus.
According to the CDC, these regions have had no confirmed Zika-carrying mosquitoes (yet) so there's no need to stress. After all, isn't travel all about relaxing and not stressing out?

Average December high: 70 degrees
