ONE WEEK AHEAD -
CHECKLIST
Reduce the amount of fresh items you buy at the grocery, such as
milk, fruit and other perishables you’ll need to throw out before
you leave.
Get out the suitcase and start your packing.
Be sure your luggage is marked with identification on the inside
and out.
Start adjusting your sleeping and eating habits closer to your
destination’s time zone to help avoid jetlag.
Make at least two lists of credit card numbers and travelers
check serial numbers.
Make several copies of your passport. Leave one list at home and
keep the other with you in case you lose your passport. Do not keep
the copies on your person, rather
keep a copy in your suitcase and/or give your traveling companion a
copy.
Notify the local police and security system company to
immediately consider any alarms as real. Leave with them the names
of anyone responsible to watch over your house.
Check prescriptions for necessary refills; bring a list with the
drug’s generic name listed since the brand names available can
differ in other areas.
Pick up all your items from the dry cleaners.
