Find me a cottage!

Wow, I am having the hardest time finding a decent cottage to rent for a week in July that is not already all booked up!  We are not picky - it doesn't have to be the Taj Mahal.  Just as long as it is clean, rodent free, with a working toilet and a nice sandy beach where Genny can play.  And allows us to bring our dog, of course.

I cannot stress enough the importance of the working toilet requirement.  We've been cursed on almost every vacation we've been on with toilet malfunctions.  Toilets that won't stop running, toilets that clog, toilets that get stuck in the open position and flood the septic tank, yada yada yada.  And not just at cottages, either.  This has happened to us on two separate vacations to Cuba, too.  I think if we have one more bad toilet on a vacation Phil is going to go right over the deep end.  And no, we are not the cause of the problems.  We just seem to be jinxed.

So if the Cottage Rental Gods are listening, please send me a sign!  Or a Kijiji ad, at least.  I'm desperate over here!  Mommy needs a vacation with a little peace and quiet, fresh air and sunshine.
