I think some are so used to it and really don't even realize how hard work they put into it

It is nice being sort of moderate temperature, we get real cold for a while then pop back up, some snow that then melts fast.

Hawaii is nice but to expensive to live there .I'm not sure after awhile of living there it would be the same .I spent 3 month's in Puerto Rico and after the first month it started going downhill and after the second month I could not wait for the third month to get here so I could come back .Living there and vacationing there are 2 different things .I stayed in a nice hotel but even that gets old.Then when the storms hit ,I just wanted out .I was there during hurricane season ,no fun .

Now that would be a super fun "girls week"! Anytime you all want to get together, I'd sure be available for that. I'd have you all over to my place, I have extra room, but talk about getting bored out of your mind QUICK! LOL Just not much to do in this little town where I live, and no big cities closer than at least an hour away. But, going to somewhere south, anytime sounds wonderful to me. Keep me posted if anyone gets a wild hair. :) My daughter once did that with a bunch of gals she met in a chat room on a western dating sight, and they had a blast in Texas.

no ford motor company sent a few of us over there to set up a union for the hotel workers ,do you know some of the maids were lucky if they made 3 dollars a day and if they didn't do there job right they were fired and grounds keepers worked 7 days a week from dawn to dusk and some even worked after dark to make the hotel great for guests and made about 30 or 40 dollars a week and were treated like slaves than employees .Shame what they did to them ,and they were just to scared to speak up .I went over with a guy who had family who lived there and got to see the real puerto rico .not good either .
