These travel tips are crucial for your next vacation exploration if you are setting off in the next 48 hours, curated by the Readsaga review team.
The Final 48 Hours
- Plan to meet with a friend to exchange your house keys and share a detailed itinerary with telephone numbers where you can be reached.
- Finish your laundry so you won’t be worrying last minute about whether everything will be dry enough to pack.
The Final 24 Hours
- Take the day before you leave off as a day to finalize all packing and errands.
- Order dinner in instead of cooking, and use paper plates so that you won’t have to wash up afterward. Before bed, load packed bags into the car, leaving one bag indoors to hold last-minute items. If someone will be driving you to the airport, set everything by the door.
Last-Minute Details
- Walk through the house and take care of everything that needs attention such as washing dishes, unplugging appliances, and emptying the garbage. Adjust the refrigerator to an energy-saving setting, and toss out perishable foods. If you have canceled garbage pickup during your vacation, bring last-minute trash to a neighbor’s house or with you to dump elsewhere.
- In the living room and bedrooms, unplug TVs and other devices not on timers. If it’s summer, turn the air conditioning off or to a comfortable setting for pets staying behind. If it’s winter, turn the heat to the lowest temperature that will keep pets warm and prevent pipes from freezing.
- Turn off the water to the washing machine. Clean pets’ cages and litter boxes; leave care instructions if they’re staying behind and you’ve asked someone to look in on them. Activate control systems for security, lawn watering, and lights. Before leaving, secure windows and doors.
