Wendy, welcome to TV. You haven't said if you have a humidistat or not. A humidistat makes a difference to how you set your air conditioning.

In case you don't know about humidistats, there is a search button above in the blue line. We've talked here extensively about humidistats. You might want to type in "humidistats" in the search line as there is a lot of interesting information. We personally have saved thousands of dollars in electrical costs, but then we're away for extended periods.

Have fun on your trip!
