Glad to hear all is A-Okay now for you Jholler. Yet unless I'm dead wrong if you go outside and open the water heater panel and throw the little switch to on the heater its for only turning on the electric element in the heater and not the propane. If I am some how wrong then I hope some one tells me otherwise.

All good now. Seems the propane is locked out unless you throw the breaker for the electric water heater.

If you are hooked up to electric, make sure you have water in the water heater tank and go outside and open the trap door to the heater and look for the switch to turn it on.  This will most likely work as it is not uncommon for the propane end of the heater to break. Then when you get back you can look into fixing the heater

Day three of my monthlong vacation, and the gas water heater has decided to quit! DSI fault light doesn't even flicker when I flip the water heater switch. Stove and fridge are burning just fine. No ticking from the igniter, and no gas flowing at the water heater. All breakers are good, all fuses are good (continuity check w DMM).
