What’s on Your Travel Checklist?

It is just two days until we take off for our Europe trip. We have gone through our checklist and are down to just a few other tasks before we leave. Here is our Travel Checklist before we take an extended vacation to Europe.

Pre-Travel Checklist

• Arrange care for our dog and lawn, and plants
• Let the neighbors know that we will be gone and for how long.
• Put your lights on timers to make your home look lived-in
• Make sure our bills are up to date. ( We have automatic bill pay)
• Have our newspaper discontinued
• Have our mail held
• Call our credit card companies to let them know we will be out of the country.
• Make copies of our passports, itineraries, vouchers, etc, along with the numbers to call in case your credit card is lost or stolen
• Send a copy of your itinerary, including hotel phone numbers or websites to your family and interested friends.
• Put your jewelry and important papers in a safety deposit box at your bank.
• Pack your Passports in your carry-on
• Don’t forget your electrical converters and outlet plug adaptors.
• Get some Euros or prepare to get Euros from an ATM when you arrive
• Make sure you have your medications packed
• Take an extra pair of glasses, if you have them
• Pack your Umbrella
• Make sure your toiletries are packed in your checked luggage. (You can only take items that fit in a quart sized, zip-lock bag and contains less than 3 oz each, in your carry-on)

Its nice to have a little list to check off before you get on that plane, so when you finally sit down in those uncomfortable little seats, you can finally relax.
