Steve: Are you almost ready?
Jenna: Yes, I think so, but we always forget so many things! Did you get the traveler’s checks at the bank yesterday?
Steve: Yes, I did. And I paid the bills, too.
Jenna: Well, I changed our voicemail message, and I confirmed all of our flights.
Steve: Great! Let’s remember to give the house keys to Mr. Jacobsen so he can come in and water our plants.
Jenna: This afternoon I have to stop the mail delivery at the post office.
Steve: And could you please take the dog to the kennel?
Jenna: Oh, I hate that! He always looks so scared.
Steve: And this time, let’s remember to empty the trash before we leave.
Jenna: And we’ll give away all the fresh food. Last year, there were black tomatoes and green meat in the refrigerator after our vacation.
Steve: I made a note to myself: unplug the computer!
Jenna: And I promise to turn off all the lights. The electric bill was terrible last time.
Steve: Maybe we should write a list. Then we can use it again on our next vacation.
