How to Prepare For a Vacation?
So you decided to take a brake from work, leave the worries behind for a while and fly away somewhere. It could be lying on the beach with a cocktail, dancing till the morning on a night club, seeing historical cities and places, cruising down the river, skiing at the Alphs or just travel in the nature. No matter what the destination is, after deciding the type of vacation, you have to prepare your luggage and make some checks.
Plan your expenditures; Sometimes a lower costs hotel will give you the opportunity to spend on other attractions. Before the flight it is very important to see the weather forecast of your destination, and take clothes accordingly.
Read about your destination, check out about the local transportation, and ask for recommended places, sites and restaurants. You can print some pages with the information and take it with you.
Highly recommended to check the current currency rate of you destination, if possible change the currency before the flight. A lot of currency changers give bad rates if you don't familiar with the rates. Another important thing people intend to forget - checking the electricity type of the destination country and bring electric convert if needed.
What I recommend is to make a list of things to bring and then when leaving check if nothing was forgotten:
Things to check before flight:
- Passport is valid
- Abroad insurance
- Flying tickets and reservation correct and ready
- Check if visa needed for the destination
Things to bring:
- Passport
- Fly Tickets
- Visa
- Hotel/transport Vouchers
- International credit card
- Phone of your embassy
- Camera + charger
- Cell Phone + charger if needed
- Electric convert
- Sunscreen (always needed)
- Flip-flops
- Sunglasses
- Small first aid kit
- Notebook and pen
- Map (or buy at the destination)
- Ear plugs/eyes cover for the flight
Clothes according the weather:
- Underwear
- Sleeping clothes
- 2 pair of shoes
- Swimsuit if needed
- Comfortable clothes for walking
- Clothes for evening
- Raincoat if raining.
Beauty case:
- Hairbrush
- Makeup (and women stuff)
- Toothpaste + toothbrush
- Deodorant
- Small towel
- Perfume
- Hair dryer (check if the hotel has)
The last important thing is enjoying you trip
