CURT – No. I'll start packing tomorrow. I can't wait to visit you in Puerto Rico. Actually, I was wondering what kind of clothes to pack.
ELLEN – I know it's cold where you are but it's really warm here. It's like summer all year ‘round. Bring summer clothes like shorts, sundresses, sandals, and, of course, your swimming suit.
CURT – Does it get cool at night?
ELLEN – No. It cools down a little a night but it's still warm at night.
CURT – So, will I need a sweater or a light jacket or anything like that?
ELLEN – No. Well. You could pack one light sweater because sometimes it's cool in places where they have air-conditioning. You get used to the warm weather outside and then you go in a movie theater here and freeze.
CURT – Do I need to bring a raincoat or umbrella?
ELLEN – Yeah. That's a good idea. I'd bring an umbrella but not the raincoat. It rains a lot here. They get bad thunderstorms here. When I moved here from San Diego at first the thunderstorms scared me a little bit. Now I'm used to them. My friend's apartment building was hit by lightning recently. It destroyed her computer and TV.
CURT – Is it humid there?
ELLEN – Yeah. It's REALLY humid. At first the humidity drove me crazy because I was sweating all of the time. After a few months I got used to it. Now when I go back to San Diego it feels really dry to me.
CURT – I'm really excited about going to Puerto Rico.
ELLEN – I can't wait to see you.
