Not too many people here use the term "crockery". It's commonly referred to as "dishwashing liquid". And we don't usually say "washing up" for dishes. I tell my kids to wash up for dinner (wash their hands), and after dinner we "do the dishes", or "clean the kitchen"!quote:Originally posted by DISNEYDIVA
Firsttimer, we encountered a problem when trying to describe washing up liquid for dishes (in a small on site store), we were told it was liquid for washing "crockery" [msnwink]

Thanks everyone.
We always carry round an old terry nappy which is small and scraggy but useful for drying us off after water rides or drying seats. We also take a plastic table cloth (pound shop variety) which we use as a sitting mat on damp beaches or places where the ground isn't as nice as it could be- cheap and light and small.
Oh, and what about clothes pegs?
We don't supply clothes pins (if that's what you're asking about) at our villa, but they would be easy enough to get at Wal-Mart.

We provide clothes pegs - I always take a pack over when we visit because they seem to get eaten by the clothes peg monster! [msneek] But where were you thinking of using them? STR home communities don't usually allow clothes drying outside and expect you to be using the tumble dryer.

Would tea towels (for drying dishes) or kitchen towels (for drying hands in the kitchen ) usually be provided?
And is kitchen roll (absorbent paper) called anything different?
The trouble is, we are used to camping with the car, so usually we CAN pack the kitchen sink if we want to. It will be such a strain to limit ourselves to our weight limit!
The tea towels and hand towels are included in our home and kitchen roll is called the same. You won't be drying many dishes though as you have a dishwasher provided - you are on holiday after all!
Although we can tell you what's provided in our homes, we can't give you a definite list of what will be provided in the home you're renting. I would have thought your best bet would be to contact the brochure company and ask if they can give you a hint of what's included in the actual home you'll be renting. We don't want to give you the wrong information and have you come back and tell us you didn't pack something vital! [msnwink]

Two different lots of people in the rental home across from mine hung a washing line up in the garage......quote:Originally posted by blott

Yep, we've got one there as well but not everyone has and you're not allowed to hang washing outside in most communities.

I don't think the Villa has a real line....the guests just put up the line.....it looked like they were drying towels and swimwear from the pool.....quote:Originally posted by blott

The garages were as hot as the tumble dryer for a few days.....I read the list of no-nos given by the HOA.....and found that the locals break everyone of them.....I don't see the point in having the rules if you don't stick to them.....we had trouble getting our car out of our driveway because of all the cars park in the street from the house across the road.....the same thing happens here.....people park across the road across your driveway so you can backout easy......I never had that happen in England.....I don't think you get told in the USA when you learn to drive that its rude to block a driveway..it was one of the first things the person teaching me to drive told me ....and I teach my kids the same thing...
