10. A five-month old Doberman puppy that doesn't want to sleep in her crate at the vacation home means you better make room in the bed.

8. The mountain roads are not friendly to a "four banger" from Japan carrying far too much stuff.

7. The rabbit can't be left alone for a week, so it's easier to just bring him with than find someone to rabbit-sit.

4. Hill Billy Golf is actually run by real life hill billys.

3. Davy Crocket's mini-golf is far superior to Hill Billy Golf.

2. The first 350 pages of George RR Martin's, A Storm of Swords, is kick ass.
