More Travel Tips

• Plan ahead. About a month to prepare. Leads too much excitement plus you can come up with good ideas for your trip. I like to dream about my get- a-ways. Last year parasailing, this year stand up paddle board or sailing or both.
• Jot down some of the experiences you would like to have and places you would like to see. Who wants to try archery? Are we bringing the golf clubs this year?
• Don't forget to put your "out of office" alert on your email. Try hard not to work. Put it aside, just for a little while.
• Start packing a week before the trip. Don't forget to use your packing list.
• Unpack as soon as you arrive. Get comfy in your new surrounding and relax into it.
• Don't take too many photos. Remember you have to edit, delete, print, store, display, pay & share. That's a lot of work. Scale down a bit.
• Come home to a day or two off from work. Better to ease back into your crazy busy life.
