packingReady for the much awaited and needed vacation? July is THE month for summer vacations and road trips. Make sure the time before you arrive at your destination isn’t hectic and stressful. This way you can actually enjoy the first day of vacation and not be too exhausted to think.

Here are 5 tips to make sure you arrive at your destination ready to see the world.

1. Make a list of everything you will be taking with you. Some things that are commonly forgotten are cell chargers, camera, batteries, sun screen. As you are packing the items from your list, make a check next to everything as it goes in the bags.

Second verse same as the first. Have you ever gotten home from your trip and realized your blow dryer is not in the bag? It seems we are worse at leaving things on the return trip than at leaving them out on the initial trip. Just like you did the first time, Check everything off as it goes into the suitcase and/or car.

2. Map out the trip with a highlighter.

3. Let someone know where you’re going. Make sure they know the name and whereabouts of the place you’re going to be staying and that they have your cell phone numbers.

4. Make sure your money is safe. Separate your money in 2-3 places. This way, if something gets stolen or lost, you can still proceed with your vacation and it will ensure that you won’t be washing dishes at the local diner in order to eat.

5. Check your tires for leaks. Make sure that break pads are working properly and you have the right amount of liquids in the right places in your automobile.

Have a great vacation!
