Thanks for the info on the laundry and other stuff.

Completely unrelated, but I used to live right across the river from you. I was born and raised in Evansville, IN.

They also have detergent you can buy down in the laundry facilities. And, you can use those facilities (but would you really want to with the unit in your room). Last time we checked it was $1.00 for the box of detergent. Since we drive, we can bring more from home.

Surprise to hear that you drove over from Evansville. We drive over there for the zoo and Toys R US (we don't have either). I had a uncle who retired and moved from Portland to Arizona, and he is much happier now. I think he is near Pheonix, but don't remember the name of the town. I would think the rain vs. desert would be a big contrast, but he likes his new home.

Pic's...?

Great pics. Great lighting with the tree. Last time we had a 1 bdr at the Paddock and our room overlooked the bridge over the lake. It was a great view.

Good to know about the detergent. I have a 2 pack trial of the new Purex 3-in-1 wash sheets, so I think I'll just hang onto those and bring those. We shouldn't need to do much laundry since it'll be just DH and I.

Evansville.. the thriving metropolis with a zoo and Toys R Us. I had a ton of friends in KY so that's why I was always over there. My college roommate was from Owensboro too.

Have to say that I agree with your uncle.. I much prefer it here. KY and IN are beautiful and green, but I can't handle the weather and humidity. IMO the summer months are just downright miserable. I'll take the "dry" heat anyday! We don't have the bugs you guys have either. When we were out there a few weeks ago, my kids about freaked out over all the bugs in my parents yard (they live in the middle of a forest, practically). We're just not used to bugs, mosquitos, etc here. Plus the Mexican food here is sooo much better here. I used to think that Hacienda was "real" Mexican food. Tucson is about 10x the size of E'ville, so there is loads of stuff to do here. That said, I do enjoy visiting IN/KY. Some really great down to earth people there.

I moved to Owensboro from Louisville. When I originally moved here, I wondered where the rest of the town was. (Louisville is not really a metropolis either.) Still, Owensboro is a great place to raise a family - no crime, no traffic. I have tried to talk DW into moving to Orlando. She keeps telling me that vacationing there is not the same as working there. Still, the heat is about the same, and it is a lot warmer there in the winter.

That's hilarious about the Mexican food. We actually have 3 places here in Owensboro who are owned by a man who immigrated from Mexico, and they are the best Mexican restaurants - including WDW, but they are not inside a pyramid with a boat ride.

[kikiq]

We had to cancel our August trip due to family obligations. AND attempted to book a few weeks earlier...GUESS WHAT...NO studios r 1 bdrms, yes NO studios or 1 bdrms available for the next month for more than 2 -3 days in a row at SSR or OKW. BUT I can get a garden view BWV studio for 10 days or a boardwalk view studio for 6 days. My DH wants his SSR or nothing
