Shopping for your Upcoming Travels Made Easier
Find cool gadgets, etc... for your travels nationwide or around the world with this lens! I am going to place all the neat things I find in my quest preparing for our trip this summer to Romania. If I think it is something others should check out or might need in their preparation...I will add it here! I know it has been a long process for us in preparing for this trip! I mean, I will need a vacation just to relax after getting ready for this trip!
Don't forget!
List of things you need to remember before you leave for your trip!
*Plan who is going to take you and pick you up from the airport OR reserve a park if you can at the airport!
*Stop your mail so it isn't flowing out of your mailbox...you don't want strangers to know you are on vacation!
*If you have animals, get them taken care of with a responsible "sitter/kennel!" Make sure they have a good vacation as well! They will miss you!
*Line up someone trustworthy to watch your house while you are gone!
*Turn off your water supply as someone we know learned the hard way...their fridge got a leak and flooded their house! Didn't know these folks personally but do know the lady that knew them!
*Hire someone or have a friend or family member to come out and mow your lawn so your grass doesn't tell strangers you are not home!!!!
*Great Tip here for finding your luggage quickly at the airport luggage pick up area: Tie a COLORFUL or BRIGHT Scarf around the handle of each of your luggage. Make sure they all match! Very easy for you to identify as it circles around! Get it and get on with your vacation! :-)
