 Preparing for vacation can be stressful but it does not need to be. The stress you have leading up to your vacation will carry into your vacation so here are some tips to avoid that.  Make a List Start by creating a list and breaking it into a few sections: • Items you need or want to take • Items you still need to buy • Tasks to complete before your trip • Things to do on the day you leave As you gather items, make purchases, or complete tasks, check them off your list. This helps keep everything organized and makes packing much easier. Set Aside Needed Items Choose a designated spot in your home where you can place everything you plan to take. As you find or buy items, put them there so they are easy to locate when it is time to pack. A table, spare room, or corner of a bedroom can work well. Before Leaving Before you head out, consider taking care of these items: • Stop your mail or ask someone to check it so it does not sit in your mailbox while you are away. • If you are taking a road trip, have your vehicle serviced ahead of time to help avoid issues on the road. • Give a copy of your itinerary to a trusted friend or family member in case of an emergency. • If you are going on a cruise or traveling internationally, make a copy of your passport and leave it at home or with someone you trust. • Place a cup or small container of water in your freezer and let it freeze. Once frozen, place a quarter on top. If you return home and the quarter has sunk below the ice, you will know there may have been a power outage and that food in the refrigerator or freezer may not be safe to eat. On the Day You Leave Before walking out the door, remember to: • Adjust your air conditioning or heat to help save energy while you are away. • Take out the trash so it does not sit in your home while you are gone. • Make sure all doors are locked. • Turn off and unplug electronics where appropriate. A little preparation can go a long way toward making your trip smoother and giving you peace of mind while you are away. Safe Travels!!!!
