ere is a fact about me, I LIVE to travel! Pre-Covid, I traveled as often as I could, near and far. A large part of a successful trip is how organized you are before you go. Here are some tips to ensure you’re properly prepared for your next journey. Before You Leave Home It’s important to make sure our pets are cared for before we leave, but here are a few other areas of your home to make arrangements for: Mail & Deliveries Have a trusted friend or neighbor keep an eye out for packages that may pile up at the door. A Whole House Walk Through If you’re going to be gone longer than a weekend. In that case, it’s a good idea to have someone walk through and check out your home every 1-2 days to ensure you won’t encounter any unexpected surprises (water leaks, broken windows, etc.) upon your return. Remove all trash throughout your home. Also, do a quick clean out of your fridge to avoid a stench greeting you upon returning home. Check the Weather Don’t assume they’ll be sunny skies on your beach vacation. Check the weather up until the day you leave to ensure you’re properly prepared.
