Greetings from Lake Tahoe. We are staying at an ok AirBnB. It is decently equipped, but I have to say the lighting is abysmal. When I go on vacation my main leisure time activity is reading, and when the only lighting is ceiling recessed flood lamps, that is not ideal. It is a choice of being in the dark or having every overhead light in the house on. Not great for reading at all. Thank goodness for Kindles, where you can adjust things to suit you.
Archie's behavior has been stellar. He has been the absolute best little canine traveler ever. We brought his kennel along, in case he needed to be confined, but we haven't had to use it at all. He sits on top of it to look out the window or lies on top of it, but he hasn't been in it even once.
We have had some great walks along the lake at Sugar Pine Park, but yesterday my husband and I were tuckered out so we pretty much sat around and read our books all day. We hope to get out more today, but my goodness the weather has had a major turn. It only got up to 52 on Monday!
In our rental, Archie spends most of his time looking out the windows. I think he's loved being included on our family trip but will be glad when we go home where he knows what will happen next. I think he is enjoying the experience, but as you can see from his body language, he is reserved in his approval. He is a cautious fellow and is restrained in his enthusiasm for new things. He would accompany us anywhere, but would he rather be at home? Probably.

Love the Archie pictures! Archie timid in a new place. A bit novel for a wild “terriorist.” He’s such a sweet boy. Thank you! Who would have worried about adequate lighting for reading when planning a trip!? Although I always bring my Kindle for those drives that continue into dusk and dark. I find hotels rather dim for working my needlepoint in the evening. If we actually went somewhere to just hang out and relax, I might actually think now and pack a lamp. Enjoy your time away from it all!!

Archie is so lucky to have you and your hubby as part of his family. They just want to be with us.❤️
I don’t know why Airbnb’s seem to scrimp on lighting. I have learned the hard way and now always take my rechargeable light with me.
Enjoy your vacation. Those temperatures are definitely “fall” temps. Makes me crave pumpkin pie!!🤣🍁🍂

We’ve stayed in many bnbs over the years and many times we’ve had to move lamps around! As you say, thank goodness for Kindles. Although when we travel by car I often bring a hardback book and that does require light!
I think Archie looks cute up on his security house.

Who’s a good boy!? Archie, of course! 🐶 He looks like he’s interested in what he’s seeing, but would rather relax with that glass of wine on the living room table! Good idea to take his crate. Our girl only sleeps in her’s at night & puts herself inside at bedtime. We take it in our camper because it’s her ‘safe place’ where ever she is.

When we travel I find the lighting to be lacking as well, especially in hotel rooms. I purchased a little device at Road2CA from sewlite.com. It’s a rechargeable light that attaches to my clothing magnetically. I use it almost every night to do hand sewing. It’s one of my most used gadgets. I am glad Archie, and you two, of course, are enjoying your vacation.

So glad that Archie could go along and enjoy the trip with you. I would never have guessed that a rental would be “stingy” with their lighting.
Enjoy your remaining days and the cool weather!
