Very good information! I love coming home to a clean house.....then it seems I trash it withmy luggage and all! LOL
Oh no...the cats. We forgot the cats! Oh, they went on the trip over the river and through the woods. Forgot.
Great insights! It is especially amazing to see how times have changed; pre programing the DVR is a must!
Lori, good tips! I totally agree on the #1, nothing is better to come back to a clean house after a long tired trip, haha.
Lori - these are very good tips for traveling, I'm sure you used all of these in preparing for your trip. Have fun, relax, and enjoy the time away.
