We are driving from NJ with an arrival of Sunday PM. We need to leave early on Sat AM. to try to get to DC by 5 PM (I hope thats possible) actually Silver Springs)
Last week we visited my SIL in the Sun City in Palm Desert. It is a woderful place. (Sun City was). Palm Desert may be a dry heat....but its still HOT. On the undeveloped land, I keep wondering if the ocean was over the next sand dune

.
We visited HHI Sun City several years ago, during the summer...and it was also somewhat hot, but not like 101 degrees (in early October??). Yes, was more humid in HHI area. I think I like high 80s & low 90s with some humidity better.
As for the Sun City concept itself, this is great. (There are many similiar developments under different contractor/developers). The houses I saw build by Del Webb seen much better constructed than our visits to the Four Season (K Hov) homes built in NJ. I see ads for Four Seasons here in S Calif. I would really look around at the different construction practices. Codes may not be enough.
Now...the weather on the Cailf S coast is just great!. (Newport & Corona Del Mar- where the MAR is here) But the small 2 bed houses on the hills cost near the millions.....(don't know how there could be sooooo many).
