Turn off the water *inside* your house.
Call the Sun and give them whatever directions (cancel or send to another address)
unplug your technical items (t.v./boxes) and your micro-wave (just in case of lightening strikes.
Tell your neighbors you're leaving so they can be observant while you're gone. Don't post on social networks that you're leaving.
Turn the *air* to a higher level---just enough to circulate the air and to keep the humidity down.
I may have forgotten some things but this is a start!

If you have the time when you're here to close, you should go through all the orientations offered by systems providers, i.e., HVAC system installer (Sunshine AC), the pool installer (T&D) if any, the propane supplier (Suburban) and take notes during the orientation. Things change over time. For instance, if your new home is newly constructed (since you're in Fernandina, let's assume it's newly built) when departing for an extended period you would want to set your thermostat to 80-85 (during cooling season) and your humidistate to 55%. Thus, the specifics of preparing your house for an extended absence depends on it's age since older homes don't have humidistats. Also, if your home is new construction, try to schedule a sink-hole inspection ASAP so you can get this low cost insurance.
