Yahooo!!!! One more week to go and we're off for vacation to our beloved Motherland, Philippines. We completed our travel trifecta – the airline tickets are booked, bags are packed and a taxi is already arranged to pick us up and send us to airport -now it's time to get organized. The trip planning process doesn't only ends on buying our plane tickets to packing to reaching our destination. It includes taking care of everything on our trip planning list before heading to the airport to catch our flight. So here are some things to be sure to check off on our list before we'll leave on vacation:
1. Make sure to empty the laundry bag , wash all our clothes and put them away in order.
2. Make sure the house is clean and sparkling, so when we'll be back (after a month) we'll not be blown away by a messy house!
3. Notify our landlady that we'll be out of town and asked her (we trust her) to pick up our mail .
4. Prepare a "Mother bag" to take care of odds and ends stuff. Those personalized tote bags I saw over at Posy Lane are the best for this occasion.
5. Of course, lock all doors and windows throughout the house. Unplug all electronic items. Make sure nothing is left in our refrigerator.
6. Put Mr. Clean in each of our toilets and pour a little in our drains. I'll use something I like to smell. This will keep our house from smelling bad from stagnant water.
7. Double check before leaving the house that we have all necessary essentials to travel with. I made a list which I can refer to so that I won't forget anything important.
8. Pay all the bills- babysitter's salary, house rental fee, electric bill, water bill, and telephone bill.
9. Because we don't have credit cards, I need to contact our debit card company before traveling to ensure the card will work in another country. We'll also changed some of our Thai baht to dollars.
10. Make a note of the things to do when we get home and leave it on the kitchen counter.
There are other reminders that would be good to have on our away list too (your suggestion will be highly appreciated), but these should be a good start to help keep me focused on necessary items to take care of before leaving on our fun family vacations.
Can't wait to reached Surigao del Norte! They said much have improved including the city's park. I've seen photos from my friends who are in Facebook that it's landscaping has improved- equally beautiful as of that Dallas landscaping.
