Many people are planning to travel for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the information in this blog could apply to a trip any time of the year. It is best to start before your trip. This posts and those that follow will be the steps I take to prepare for my trip.
First make a list of what you think you may need. I will go into picking clothes in another post. When making the list don't forget to include the things that need to be done before and after the trip. You can use an app made for travel or find a packing list on Travelsmith.com. You can create a list for each separate bag that you plan on taking. Don't forget any snacks that you may want to take with you.
Pick out the bags before you plan on leaving. Each person should have a bag that stays with them during travel to help pass the time. Start packing your bags with the items you will need for the trip, but not at home well before the trip to help reduce any last minute stress when getting ready to hit the road or air.
