1. The Mosquitoes are like nothing you've ever seen before. Go ahead and bathe in Off before leaving the house. Even then, have plenty of anti-itch cream in the house for the morning.
2. The humidity here is incredible. Be prepared to wonder if you peed on yourself in the night when we wake up. You will be that wet. That's if you actually make it to the morning. If you don't, just be ready to spend an entire day doing wash because everything you brought outside will be wet and (soon) mildew-y.
We ended up having a good time, even though it wasn't quite like being in Cali. I think we may try round two in California this summer.
The girls really enjoyed hearing my story of when I was a girl. I was sleeping on the trampoline with my cousins, Katie and Stephanie (Lindsay, I can't remember if you were there....forgive me if you were). We were probably around 10 or 11. Their neighbors had a balcony on the second story of the house, which we had perfect view of. Well, as we were laying there, the man neighbor, whom we'll call "Joe" to protect his identity, came out on the balcony to get a little fresh air.....NAKED!! It was quite traumatizing!
Haylie, Katie and Trevor (under a pink blanket). Trevor was less than thrilled about the idea of sleeping on the tramp, and the mosquitoes loved him from the minute we stepped outside.
