I stayed at White Sands for 17 days in 2008 and there wasn't a tv in my room. It was weird not having it but I got used to it fast and I'm glad it wasn't there. I read the bible a lot that they had in the nighstand drawer and spent a lot of time on my balcony people watching and more time at the beach. I only used my cell phone to call home to check up on family.
