The trip before that was very complicated. So I made labels (with the destination and our cell number) for the first hotel, the train, the second hotel, the cruise, the first post-cruise hotel, the train back south, the final hotel. Before leaving for the next leg, I pasted the new labels over the old ones on the luggage tags and the card stock tags we were also using.

#11 is something hubby always does before we go anywhere overnight. And makes sure all the exterior doors are locked.

While we were on our last cruise the hose from the wall to a toilet cracked. The neighbor was keeping an eye on the outside of the house but not the inside. We do not know how long the water was spraying but we figure about 3 days.

It took 10 days to dry out the house. We meet with the contractor tomorrow. The preliminary estimate was about 5-6 weeks to rebuild.
