10 Things to Do Before Your Vacation (domestic travel edition)

Looking forward to an upcoming trip? Here are 10 things to do before your vacation:

  1. Schedule your appointments in advance - hair, nails, waxing, doctor appointments, etc.

  2. If you have pets - schedule a petsitter, grooming appointments, and solidify any other arrangements that need to be made

  3. Make a packing list, and be sure to include outfits, medications, chargers, toiletries, etc.

  4. Clean your house - nothing is worse than coming home tired from a trip to a messy house

  5. Replenish your travel toiletries so you don’t run out while on vacation

  6. Reach out to your emergency contact and give them details about your upcoming trip, just in case

  7. Make sure you have your necessities packed in your carry-on bag; this includes an extra set of clothes, chargers, medications, and anything else you might need if your luggage accidentally gets lost or delayed

  8. Pick out a comfy day of travel outfit and include things like compression socks if traveling by plane

  9. Check the weather at your destination so that you know what to expect and what to pack; this will also help you coordinate your activities

  10. Research methods of transportation at your destination (Uber, metro, bikes, etc.)
