Things to do Before You Travel

1. Contact Your House Sitter and/or Kennel before you make your final reservations to ensure they are available on the dates you're requesting.

2. Make sure you take care of stop orders or advance payments prior.

3. Manager your cash flow before you leave. Stock up on plenty of cash so you are not stuck with ATM fees, etc.

4. Call your bank and let them know you will be traveling. Most banks and credit card companies keep track of spending patterns and may interpret an unexpected overseas purchase as credit card fraud. Your bank or credit card company could lock your account if you use your card in another country without notifying them.

5. Plan Your First Day. It's going to be made up of a lot of traveling and getting from point A to B. Ensure that wants you get to your destination you're not wasting precious vacation time planning what to do next.

6. Do a web search of hobbies and activities in the destination before you leave. Then you'll have an idea of what you'd like to accomplish and are not spending vacation time "planning".

7. Check out local entertainment listings for things to do.

8. Check the weather.

9. Program the number of your travel agent, airline and the hotel in your cell phone prior to travel, just in case!
