We took several "Christmasy" things with us. What was aggravating was that we bought a brand new set of icicle lights before we left to take down and when we got them out of the box and plugged them in, half of them didn't work! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> We put them up anyway! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> We fiddled around with them a bit and couldn't get them to work. We took some pictures, if I ever get around to posting them. Gave them to the maid when we left and hope maybe she would be able to get them to work..
