Well maybe this should be under service&repair, but... I am going overseas for about a month this summer. It is for work, so I have to go. My question is, are there things I should do to the Mariah before going on my trip? I will be using her before&after my trip. I will fill the fuel tank, release tension from the drive belts, and generally make sure she is secured well. Should I fog the engine? Is there anything(I'm sure there is)I am forgetting/overlooking. I know you guys have great ideas, so thanks in advance!

Thanks, guy's. I hate to leave her for so long, we are usually at the lake for a week or so about this time of year. I will be dreaming...
