Another List...What to do before you leave?

[thebigk]

I'll add a few more to the list:

Mow & weed eat the yard (We have a sprinkler system so watering isn't a problem)
Put cars in the garage.
Disable outdoor garage opener
Tell neighbor he can park one of his cars at my house to look like someone's home
Lock the gates
Give parents key to house to let the dog in & out & feed him.
Pickup toys/bikes in backyard
Adjust thermostat/hot water heater
Do all laundry
Throw the trash
UNPLUG WIRELESS ROUTER FOR INTERNET (I work in IT)

We always take a days vacation before we leave on a trip just to get everything in order & pack.

sunscreen..um...how the heck can I pack sunscreen when I have only carry on bags? (gotta figure this one out asap!)

They make small ones that are under the 3.5 ounces for travel....look at Walgreens/WalMart

Make sure you have photo ID with you, in easily accessible place, for airline flight.

Print boarding passes 24 hours in advance.

I'm curious...why unplug the wireless router?

 

[thebigk]

I unplug my wireless router to keep people from hacking at it while I'm away. Wireless routers are one of the easiest things to hack. A small downloadable file can crack a WEP key in about 15 minutes. Don't want someone using all my bandwidth.

I don't know about you guys but I have to make all the beds and vacuum the whole house. I hate coming home to a messy house and I have to have the house look okay,...
And make sure no dishes left in dishwasher, get rid of any milk or bread or any perishables in the house.

LOL...I'm not alone! I do the same thing! I even do all the laundry and when I'm done I turn off the water line to the washer.
