29 Things To Do Before Going On A Vacation

In this post, you’ll find a list of actions that will help you get ready for your holidays. All people who are having a vacation soon, join me here!


At least two days before the trip
1.   Make sure you have someone to get your mail.
2.   Take your pets to friends of family.
3.   Check if you have all the toiletries, equipment, clothes and gadgets that you want to take with you. If you need it, fix some of the things or buy new ones.  
4.   If you have a long flight of ride, make sure you’ll have something to do there. Take a book or magazines, download some new albums, etc.
5.   Check your first-aid kit and add some things to it if you need it.
6.   Give your family the route of your travel. If you doubt the necessity of that, watch the movie “127 hours”.
7.   Think how you’ll get to the airport or railway station.
A day before
1.   Throw away or give away all the perishable goods from your fridge as well as fruits, vegetables and other products that have a limited shelf life.
2.   Give the keys from your house to someone you trust. It can be necessary in case of emergencies or if you just want your plants to be watered.  

3.   Print out your tickets.
4.   Write down or print your destination address.
5.   Watch the weather forecast of the place you are going to.
6.   Confirm your hotel bookings.
7.   Find and install some apps that may be useful for your trip (maps, messengers, travel guides, translators, etc.).
8.   Make electronic copies of your passport, tickets, insurance and other important documents and save them to a cloud.  
9.   Activate automatic answers in your e-mail.
10.                Charge your smartphone, laptop, GPS navigator and other electronic devices you are taking with you.
11.                Make sure you take enough cash with you.
12.                Pack your bags very carefully.
The day you leave
1.   Put the important documents, tickets, money and gadgets in a handbag that you’ll always carry with you.
2.   Make sure you close all the windows and doors.
3.   Throw away the garbage.
4.   Wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.
5.   Turn the lights off everywhere.
6.   Turn off all the gadgets and household appliances.
7.   Water your flowers.
8.   Draw the curtains.
9.   Make sure there are no forbidden things in your handbag so that there are no troubles at the airport.
10.                Check the time of your flight.
I really hope that helps. If you have any other tips, you are welcome to share them in the comments. Have a great vacation!
