She can join me in Las Vegas!
1) air conditioning 2) room service Vegas is a winter sport. We're planning to partake of its wonders in March. In July, it's a blast furnace. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I was there this past June (14th through 29th) and it wasn't bad. 109 a couple of days, but it really is a dry heat and it felt very comfortable to someone used to 95/95 here in PA during some summer days. 109/3 (yes, the RH was 3%!!) was very comfortable. And I could exit the pool at the hotel, and during the approximately 100 yard walk back to my room, have my hair completely dry (OK, there isn't THAT much to dry) and my swim trunks would be nearly dry. It was amazing... Matt |

It was amazing... My parents used to spend winters in Vegas. At that time of year, it's a wonderful place to live and work. I was there in June once. It was 117 degrees on the strip, and it was incredible. You literally desiccated as you walked, and didn't even realize you were dying, since the sweat evaporated immediately. It didn't feel any worse than 95 in Iowa -- but that's bad enough to make me not want to go back in summer. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

It didn't feel any worse than 95 in Iowa -- but that's bad enough to make me not want to go back in summer. I guess it depends on your preferences. I'm a heavy sweater and I hate humidity. Here in PA in the summer, the humidity is rather nasty. Not as bad as New Orleans, but still pretty bad. The few times I've been to the southwest, I've just loved it. As long as I keep drinking, I stay very comfortable even above 110 (I was in Phoenix in mid-July a few years ago). Maybe 120 would get to be uncomfortable, but I think I could even take that. When I retire, I'll probably just stay in PA as I was born here and probably will never leave, but if I do move, I won't go to Florida as most in this area do. I'll head to NM, AZ, NV or maybe even CO. I'm not sure I could stand to look at a desert every day after this many years of the PA mountains, but I do love the low humidity!! Matt |

Due to popular demand we've recently added some mountains here in AZ Matt. We put in both the relatively cheap rural home-power kind, and the pricey closer-to-town McMansion type. I chose the scattered low-trees and dense cactus variety, and a friend bought a bunch of the what-the-hell-takes-pine tar-off-six-vehicles flavor. There should be something left over that suits you. ;-) Wayne |
