Ok, this is my fourth attempt to get to Emerald Sanctuary and this year, I'm in! Yay! The registration is in the mail. I have the list from Indigo on what to bring and even though its 2+ months away, I'm planning my hafla performances, thinking about packing and generally gearing up for the big event. Question is... or, questions are...

Is there a microwave in the apparently well endowed kitchen?
Are there electrical outlets in the cabins for hair dryers, etc?
How chilly does it get at night? Regular sleeping bag or just a cosy blanket??
Are there mosquitos?
Alligators in the lake? Just kidding!
From all your experiences what are some of the things you wish you would have brought and what would you have left behind?

Any other advice you would care to bestow on this eager first time camper??

Love and Light, Kamara

    Yea, Rhonda! You're going to have such a great time. I'm sure others will chime in, too, but here's my two cents.

    Can't answer about the microwave 'cause I don't use 'em.

    Yes, there are outlets in the cabins.

    The cabins are usually quite warm at night. There are air conditioners in all of them. I bring a sheet and a sleeping bag. I also like to bring a tapestry throw to cover the mattress.

    Mozzies? Hmmm... I don't remember any.

    No alligators, but other critters such as rattlesnakes have been seen.
