[quote=Anonymous]I have a plan now when I travel which I follow to the tee,  for the house -

- I tell the post office to hold my mail. I have my porch lights on a timer. 
- Any Amazon delivery etc is delivered to my neighbor's house. They are informed about it. And I track it. 
- I pack my stuff at least 2-3 days before my flight. I work off check-lists.
- I make sure that no fruit/food is left outside on counters etc.  
- I water plants one day before my flight. 
- I will unplug all electronics and appliances that is not being used (only easy to unplug stuff) - TVs, piano, oven, washer/dryer, computers, monitors, game consoles, iron, lamps, chargers, most phone handsets etc.  
- ONLY stuff that I want functioning remains plugged in  - fridge, freezer, dishwasher, lamps on timers, alexa/google/siri, security, nest-cams etc.  My neighbor lost all his electronics and appliances because of a lightning strike, and my house is on a higher elevation. 
- I take out all my trash and wheel my trash bin to the side of my house. My neighbor wheels it out on trash collection day.  Never leave trash in your garage or your home. It will attract critters. 
- Family knows my itinerary and travel details in our group chat. 
- House is cleaned professionally, one day before I travel.
