Make reservations
Two to Three Weeks Before Your Trip:
Notify the Credit Card
Company that youll be
traveling, so they will expect charges from your
destination.
Check your ATM and debit
card for both daily and
total limits.
Check your drivers
license to make sure it will
remain valid while youre traveling.
Make an arrangement
with a neighbor, friend, or
relative to check your home periodically.
Reconfirm all your reservations.
Get travelers
checks from the bank.
Make arrangements to
purchase some foreign currency
if you are traveling abroad.
One Week Before Your Trip:
Get out the suitcase
and start your packing.
Be sure your luggage
is marked with identification on
the inside and out.
Start adjusting your
sleeping and eating habits
closer to your destinations time zone to help avoid
jetlag.
Make several copies
of your passport. Leave one list
at home and keep the other with you in case you lose
your passport. Do not keep the copies on your person,
rather keep a copy in your suitcase and/or give your
traveling companion a copy.
Check prescriptions
for necessary refills; bring a
list with the drugs generic name listed since the brand
names available can differ in other areas.
One Day Before Your Trip:
Pay bills that will
come due while you are away.
Walk around with your
packed luggage to evaluate your
comfort with the weight of the luggage.
Set automatic light
and radio timers. Check the bulbs
to see if they will last for your entire trip.
The Day of Your Trip:
Turn water heater down
to the lowest setting.
Turn your heat down
or off in spring or fall. Be sure
to leave the house warm enough in the winter. You may
want to reduce your bills, but you may need to keep the
house from getting too cold to protect your pets and
water pipes.
Lock all doors and windows
including basement &
garage.
Pack the car inside
the garage, with the door down,
so people driving by wont find out youre leaving.
