Need to do in 4 weeks before the holiday

Lots of us book our holidays well in advance. Even our summer holidays are often booked months in advance. Despite this many of us leave it until the last minute to do packing etc. This means we end up frazzled, stressed and probably packing the wrong items. When you book a holiday mark on your calendar 4 weeks before the holiday and then that way you can start getting organized in advance.

4 weeks until holiday you need to check you all have the right clothes etc to take with you. Ensure you know where everyone’s pass ports are. Check flight times etc and see if you need a hire car or anything either end. Check details of transfer to hotel etc.

3 weeks until holiday you need to make sure you have arrangements for any pets and family members left behind. Have you sorted out how you are getting to the airport?

2 weeks until holiday start packing items in your suitcase as the come out of the wash. Make a list of the things you want to pack and tick them off as and when you pack them. If you are taking money with you, take it to the travel agents to get changed into the correct currency.

1 week until holiday make sure you have all the tickets, confirmation etc printed out. Put these all together in a folder etc so they are together, with your passports.

By this time you are 7 days away from your holiday but you should have most of the potential problems sorted out – you are packed, have all the documents you need & your spending money arrange.
