Hi Tommy,
We're in the same boat as you.
When we leave, we unplug all TVs, microwave, cable modem, dvd player etc.
Turn off the water...our shutoff is located in the garage behind a panel.
There's a slide switch on the garage door control. Move the switch to "locked".
Cancel the newspaper.
We have a home watch (caretaker) check on our home weekly. He's worth his weight in gold! We get a weekly e-mail from him assuring us that all is well.
PM me if you would like his contact information.
We also bring in the lanai furniture and put it in the garage.
I'm sure I've forgotten some things but I'm sure others will add to the list.
Welcome!
Phil and Pat
