February 24, 2015. Nuevo Vallarta, Mex. The Lockers.

The system is excellent. We fold our clothes and fill our two lockers with our belongings. Our shoes stay here too along with the bird books and maps. We also leave soaps and detergents. But never food. One year we left two containers of penne pasta in the locker. When we returned one year later, the pasta was moldy. Our friends left their shorts and shorts carefully in plastic boxes, purchases at Walmart, but when they returned, there was mold over the clothes and on their shoes. We knew to keep the clothes fully aired so we just stack up the clothes and leave them in piles. Rita and I put our first load into the locker when we moved from our own unit. Then yesterday Ian and I put all the clothes that I had carefully stacked into the remaining locker. After dinner tonight, we will take another load, then say goodbye to our clothes for another year. Next January we will once again empty the locker, wash all our clothes and wear them for the months we are here. The system works very well as long as you have very few clothes. But with the laundry facility in the apartment, Ken and I have plenty of clothes so for us the system is excellent. All we need to do is to arrive with our backpack and our medications case. We are then ready for the season!!
