How to Pack, Fly and Enjoy Your Vacation
Start Early.If you know you’re going on vacation, start planning early instead of waiting til the last minute. This will build anticipation for the trip, and will reduce stress in the last few days before you leave.
Pack Neatly. Count the number of days you’ll be on vacation, and pack acordingly. If you wait until the last minute to throw something in the suitcase, you’ll end up bringing half the closet, and that doesn’t help matters. If you need to, make a list of things you need.
Ask Your Doctor. If you’re going out of your home country to go on vacation, it’s generally a good idea to ask your doctor if you need any vacinations, or if there are risks you should know about.
Do Research. No matter where you go, chances are there will be unfamilar languages, sayings, or vernacular slurs that you aren’t acquainted with. Why not check on the internet, or inside your local library, to learn more about the place you’re going. This will also build anticipation.
Get Plane Tickets, Hotel Reservations, or Rental Car Ideas. Before you leave, it’s a good idea to make sure that everything is in order. This will reduce friction in-transit, and while you’re on your vacation.
Make a Last-Minute Check. When you’re about to leave, go through your suitcase one last time. Important documents, medications, and things you’ll be needing right away should be put in an easy to reach area of the bag or suitcase.
Leave Your Troubles At Home. Even before you leave, take a moment to clear your mind of all distractions. Remember, you are going on vacation. Do not let anything get in the way or put you in a bad mood. This is your time, for you, and for whoever you’re taking with you. So, turn off the cell phone, pager, palm pilot, or whatever it is, and relax.
Vacation Starts As Soon As You Leave Home. So enjoy yourself! don’t get stressed out; remember YOU ARE ON VACATION!
Don’t Stress Out! It doesn’t matter if it’s the guy in the seat next to you yelling at his phone, or the waiter that brings back your order completely wrong; Complications happen on vacation. It’s not really anyone’s fault, so don’t allow other people to bother you so much that you miss the point of being on vacation.
Have Fun! You are on vacation! So enjoy it, no matter what happens. Even if you can’t get everything you wanted to done, or you’re just having a bad day, remember you’re on vacation. You are on vacation, and you love vacation!
