 Three
Weeks Ahead
- Watch the weather, so you¡¯ll know what to expect
and can pack accordingly
- Check with your credit card company for available
spending amount; ask your bank for an increase if
needed. Don¡¯t forget about the deposits that will
be charged and leave some room on the card for emergencies.
- Check the valid dates on your credit card to make
sure they will remain valid while you¡¯re traveling
- Notify the Credit Card Company that you¡¯ll be traveling,
so they will expect charges from your destination.
- Check your ATM and debit card for both daily and
total limits
- Remember your PIN numbers or get new ones issued
for all your credit, debit, ATM and phone cards.
- Purchase automatic light timers to switch on and
off in the evening.
- Check your driver¡¯s license to make sure it will
remain valid while you¡¯re traveling.
- Check cameras, purchase new batteries if necessary,
and film.
- Make an arrangement with a neighbor, friend or relative
to check your home periodically.
- If a friend or neighbor cannot collect your mail,
make arrangements for it to be held at the Post Office.
- Arrange for lawn care or snow removal. Ignoring
these areas will make your house stand out in the
neighborhood and announce to everyone that you are
gone.
- Arrange for someone to start your car during very
cold or very hot weather.
- Arrange boarding for your pets.
- Start breaking in the shoes you¡¯ll be taking with
you on your trip.
- Add some yogurt to your diet to strengthen your
digestive system. This is especially important if
your plans include travel to foreign countries where
you will be exposed to elements that are hostile to
your digestive system.
