When travelling abroad, be it for the very first time or your one hundred and first time, preparation is the key. It may seem a bit anal but be sure to make a check list of all the items you are going to need on your person when travelling. This may include any items of clothing, medication, books, money, and passport (very important when travelling abroad!) etc. Not forgetting and most importantly the tickets!
Forgetting something important for the journey can ruin the whole holiday before it has even begun (try enjoying a nice relaxing break when the spending money is sat at home on the bedside table!). Following these simple steps before you leave for your holiday should lead to a stress free journey:
Have all your belongings out and ready the night before you go, don't leave any thing to the last minute. Making sure all items are there and ready for your departure will mean you will not be running round like a headless chicken for hours trying to find your passport!
Only take what you need, do not overload your travel bag with unnecessary luggage. Only have to hand what you need and ensure all other luggage is safely stored in your main luggage.
Luggage should be packed in advance. It might be worth doing a dummy run the week before, packing your suitcase with what you need. This will help you decide what is essential what could be deemed as a luxury and taking up needless space.
Insurance is vital; do not leave the
Dress sensibly, it may be freezing cold in England but when you get off the plane abroad it might be boiling hot so ensure you're not wearing to many layers (also relevant on the return journey).
Always double check; be sure to check you have all items before leaving the house.
Yes! You will have a great holiday, positive thinking. Don't think about what could go wrong, if you've followed these steps you are well prepared for the journey so go and enjoy yourself!
