We leave early Thursday, 11/16 and return on the following Monday. We could accommodate you on so you could get your orientation!
There is much to do and see in Santa Barbara and the girls aren't a lot of trouble. A couple of short walks a day will do it for them...and, of course, you need to give them lots of love and attention (and 2 meals a day!). There are some outdoor and indoor plants to water, but otherwise, not many duties.
The house is a small two bedroom, one bath, with an enclosed yard and patio near Cottage Hospital and Oak Park, about 1.5 miles from downtown Santa Barbara.
