JDS, your list sounds just like what we brought with us. I would add a little table, a little lamp, and some cushions for the folding chairs to your list.

We brought 2 camp chairs with us, and hauled them inside and outside depending on where we wanted to sit. We stood at the counter to eat and use the laptops. We really could have used a small table to put the laptops and coffee cups on, and another set of folding chairs for outside. I bought a patio set from Walmart (sight unseen -- it was on the top shelf in the garden department) merely because it had a table AND the chairs were padded. After 2 weeks of camp chairs I needed something soft to sit on and something other than a cardboard box for a table. We used the patio set in our dining room for another month, until the dining room furniture was delivered.

Another thing you might want to bring is a lamp, unless you want to read your Daily Sun in your folding chairs underneath the dining room chandelier, like we did. The only light in the bedroom at night is from the closet or the bathroom. We carried our little lamp from the living room to the bedroom every night.

Good luck and WELCOME!
