    Dia, it might need the little feet balancing . They are usually  wind up/ down feet to get it balanced and a little tool comes with it to do just that

    Did someone mention cheese?

    and now I have good cheese envy!  

    The short break plan sounds like an excellent idea.  I have several small things booked already this year, some day things and some overnight adventures and it makes me smile when I look at them in my calendar.
