Attack of the Swine Flu!

I have been affected by the Swine Flu.
How many people do you know that can actually say that? Ok, so maybe it isn't as bad as I am making it out to be, but I am pretty angry about it.
Back in February I bought a ticket to go to California this summer. My cousin knows a family that lives in San Diego and they invited us out to stay with them. They said free lodging and food, and as college kids we know not to pass up a deal like that. We were all set to leave June 8th and spend some time in the sun. It was going to be perfect...then came the Swine Flu.
My cousin got an e-mail yesterday from the family we were going to stay with that said they were leaving California. THEY DON'T WANT TO GET THE SWINE FLU!! Are you kidding me? The e-mail said they live 20 miles from the border of Mexico and just couldn't risk putting their lives in danger. They were just going to up and move, and they are sorry. Sorry? I just spend $300 dollars on a ticket because you told me I could stay at your house!
Now we are faced with the predicament of what to do with this plane ticket to California. I am not ok with being out $300.
