but time has wings and departure day will be here in a flutter.
Things to pack for vacation along with links to some free printable checklists.
It's 3 Weeks Prior to departure day and here's what you need to know.
Luggage ~ Get out your luggage and examine it for worthiness. Will it protect your belongings from weather, physical abuse and nimble fingers when not in your sight? You may decide that you need to purchase some new luggage.
The invention of luggage with wheels has made travelling much easier. Avoid huge suitcases. Yes, you can get a lot of stuff in them. It's simply amazing how much all those little things weigh when you put them together in a gigantic suitcase.
Our advice, as always is
~ Travel Light ~
Choose a size or two smaller and leave the iron at home.
Hair Appointments ~ should be made now, or much earlier to catch those busy stylists. Check out this Fabulous Hair Site and learn to do your own "do".
Check Valid Dates ~ on your credit card and driver's license to make sure they will remain valid while you’re traveling.
Vehicle Appointment ~ Make an appointment to have your vehicle checked over and repairs done, particularly if this is a road trip vacation.
Bank Cards ~ Check with your bank about daily withdrawl limits on debit cards. Arrange for an increase if you think you'll need it. Leave room on your credit cards and even pre-pay a sum if you'll be gone for a while.
PIN Numbers ~ Refresh your memory on pertinent PIN numbers or change them to something you can remember.
Purchase ~ Automatic timers . Practice setting lights and radio to turn on and off at desired times with the auto timer. Keep looking for those travel sized items.
Camera & Equipment ~ Purchase batteries and plenty of film if your camera uses it. Film can be ridiculously expensive in some countries. Don't forget to buy a disposable camera (waterproof for beach and sailing vacations)
Pets ~ Arrange boarding or other care for your pets.
Break Shoes In ~ Start wearing any new shoes that you'll be taking with you.
