Welcome to Top Ten Thursday!
Today we're talking about Top Ten Things to take care of before leaving on vacation.
While I do love to travel and explore, I hate the time prior to that. So many things that I don't particularly like doing:
I should have come up with this topic earlier because if I forgot anything it'd be too late. As this posts we're somewhere. I don't even know where exactly. But you'll find out.
How about you, are you a light traveler?
Would you like to join us for next week's Top Ten Challenge? The theme is gonna be "top ten movie locations", think Empire State Building or Union Lake in Seattle, you may also come up with places that should be used in a movie! It posts October 13.
Please sign up here or send me a message!
The prompt for October 20 is going to be "top ten uncomfortable situations", think got my wallet stolen, was stuck in an elevator,... Sign up here.
Today we're talking about Top Ten Things to take care of before leaving on vacation.
While I do love to travel and explore, I hate the time prior to that. So many things that I don't particularly like doing:
- Book flights, rental car (book car seat or bring bubble bum?), first night accomodation
- Update passports and ESTA if necessary. If you plan on traveling to South Africa you'll need an English birth certificate for your kid stating you're their parents.
- Arrange witholding of mail
- Do laundry. Lots of laundry
- Pack smart: bring enough clothes, but not too much. Consider we'll be in the Rocky Mountains at 10,000 feet as well as in the Death Valley desert at minus 262 feet. Also make sure to leave room in the bags for shopping. Avoid liquids and pointed items in carry-on bags!
- Gadgets: charge and bring U.S. phone and charger (adapter, too!), update North American maps on car GPS
- Arrange for airport transportation
- Empty fridge
- Unplug electrical devices
- Breathe

This list automatically includes things I won't do: clean the house or pay the bills because what's the point in that if I happen to not come back home? Also no exchanging of money. Banks at the airport are open from 6am till 10pm, plenty of time.
