Nothing can put a damper on a relaxing vacation more than getting to your destination and realizing you forgot to do something. Pay a bill? Let your bank know that you are going to be away from home? Put out the garbage?
Along with your trip packing list, make sure to have a pre-travel check list. Some things to include:
- Clean out perishable foods
- Get prescription medications refilled
- Check with your doctor to see if you need any special vaccinations or health concerns for the destination you’ll be visiting
- Notify family and friend of your travel plans in case of emergency
- Hold mail and other services
- If you don’t have a house sitter, see if your local police department will do vacation checks
- Set your thermostat and automatic light timers
- Be sure your passport is valid at least six months from your RETURN date of travel
- See if you cell phone company has special plans for international travel
- If you’re planning on getting a rental car, make sure you get your international drivers permit/license ahead of time
- Download any books/movies/music onto your phone or other devices
- Place extra copies of your travel documents in separate locations of your luggage, in case one gets lost or stolen
- Pack extra prescription eyeglasses
- Have any special batteries and cords for your camera/phone/laptop in your carry on
- Double check that doors and windows are locked
We’ll keep track of your pre-travel deadlines and even print out your extra travel documents and luggage tags for good measure. Just be sure to double check your list before you leave!
