TIDBITS 4 HOLIDAY TRAVEL
This tidbit is about pre planning, it does not matter if you are going by plane , train, or automobile. Holiday travel will go much smoother if you do a little pre -planning.
- I have made a list and keep it on my computer, (this list available by going to the check list page). You can then have it when you travel. I print it out and then I can check things off as I pack them.
- No matter how you are traveling have a carry-on that includes the items you can not live without for 24 hrs. Medications, passports, picture ID, reading material, glasses regular and sun, gum, munchies, water (if not flying), wet wipes or tissues, games, itineraries, emergency contacts that you may need, hotel and car rental confirmations, a back up plan in case you get stuck somewhere, travel blanket, pillow, headphones, ear plugs, eye mask, extra sweaters or coats that way you do not have to put them in your luggage, if you need them they are handy. If you wear contacts make sure you have a contact case, eye drops and solutions, music an ipod or CD player.
- If travelling with children, things that will help keep them occupied, red-eye flights, and overnight driving, Benadryl will help with any sinus problems and will also put them to sleep. deck of cards, their favorite comfort item, things they can not live without for 24hrs.
- I am sure there are lots of things that should be on here that I have not mentioned. I would love to hear from others what their travel tips are.
By packing what you can ahead of time and making a list this will make the day of departure much more calm.
Have a wonderful and safe trip
