We were also snowbirds. Left the AC at 83, left all the fans on to circulate air. Put half cup of bleach in each clean toilet and seal the lip of the porcelain area tightly with plastic wrap, then close the lid. That will prevent evaporation and eliminate any need to flush the toilet and will stop mold. Turn off the water as you leave the house.

Your best line of defense is to let your immediate neighbors know that you are leaving, that way you have multiple eyes watching your home. Maybe you have a neighbor who would exchange email addresses with you - just in case.

Somewhere on this chat site there is a comprehensive list of how to leave your home, but I cannot remember where, but maybe one of the other posters will find it for you.

Have a safe ride home and a great summer.

I agree....82 or 83 degrees, would not go higher.
