[Island Girl]

The furry little ones love empty camps... Dcon is a great way to keep they at bay.

I cover everything in the kitchen with plastic bags and leave the stuff on the shelves..

Cover the mattresses with plastic (I buy a huge roll every few years). Who wants to sleep on a bed where there were droppings?

Take home everything liquid, put rest into plastic bags.. I then put everything into a big rubbermaid tub with a tight fitting lid.

Pull down shades to keep out the snoops.

Some put phone on hold for the season and turn off the power. I leave septic pump power on and the phone and electrcity for the webcam.

We make a long check list so we do not forget anything... we are also on an island.

Take pictures of everything including foundation to compare in the spring.. to see if anything changed.

Leave bottles of water in case we come in the winter and need a drink... It will melt in the microwave easily. Also leave packages of dry snacks and other food goods.

Ditto on all the water stuff.

That's it for now
