jwd,

We have a house in Phoenix. It is really nice weather except for about three months each year. Now those three are humdingers. It gets so hot the scorpions emigrate to death valley to cool off. Definitely not open roadster weather, especially if you have black seats. The temperature hovers somewhere north of 110 and south of 120 with occasional surges above that. This is the indoor A/C season. The rest of the year it is gorgeous.

If you go looking for housing definitely look at the Dell Web facilities. They are planned communities with excellent facilities, great property appreciation and frequently a great golf course. If you are looking now I would suggest you look at Corta Bella. You can find a good web review of the property at http://www.delwebb.com/homefinder/Co...aspx?ID=100466 .

Phoenix is a great city with some really nice places and tremendous driving opportunities nine out of twelve months.

p.s. I was talking to a Blond who got sun burnt while driving a lesser caliber of roadster. She was suprised you could get sunburnt if the car was moving.

We knew Laughlin was on the NV side of the river. Bull head city is a small town/city that might suit us fine. We like the PHX area but after 11 years on a small island big cities don't do much for us.

I'm a building contractor and am seriously thinking about really retiring after this go around...maybe do some small jobs only to keep from going nuts with boredom.

How's the weather in that area say summer/winter average any idea?
