Activities which you must do prior to your holiday

By Dave Summerfield


Going away on holiday is very exciting. But in that excitement we sometimes forget some of the most obvious things. Here is a checklist of the important things that you should take with you on holiday. Each seems obvious right now but when it comes to the day you know that you will forget something.

1. Money - Both foreign and domestic. You do not desire to arrive back residence and have no funds.

2. Passport - You aren’t going anywhere without it.

3. Tickets - Mustn’t forget those tickets.

4. Vaccines - Remember to check if you need any vaccines or malaria tablets.

5. Is it secure to go? - Check the most recent suggestions from the foreign office

6. Book in times - No these prior to hand

7. Airport transfers - Ensure that you simply book your low-cost airport transfers properly in advance, even if it really is only British airport transfers. Bear in mind to book them coming back too.

8. Insurance Details - Make sure that you have these to hand. If you haven’t got insurance make sure that you get some.

9. Emergency Contact Details - Pals & family but also the travel reps, the airline, the hotel and the local emergency numbers.

10. Share itinerary - Give your friends and family details about your trip. Flight details, accommodation details, dates and how to contact you.

11. Mobile Phone - Ensure that your phone works abroad.

12. Mobile Phone - Get enough credit on your phone.

13. Drinking water - Is it ok to drink the water.

14. Local Laws - Can you drink alcohol? If so at what age? You don’t want to be getting into avoidable trouble.

15. Local Customs - Are certain clothes frowned upon?

16. Copies of passport - Always useful to have just in case.

17. Local Phrases - Do you know enough of the lingo? Even if they speak you national tongue it is always nice to know a few words.

These are a few of the essentials which you must carry out prior to your trip and preferably with time to spare just in case you run into any problems.
