Now you have a trip. Maybe it's a family trip, wedding or other celebration, or a work trip you need to consider the who, what, where, when, and hows of your trip. Get a pen or pencil, and some paper and meet with those going on the trip with you.
Begin asking the questions and writing them do for future reference. Who is going, who are you going to see? What activities are planned? what special items are needed for the trip? Where are you planning on visiting (this is the time to write more specific details)? When are the activities going to happen? When during the year? What is the weather like? How are you going to get around? How is food going to be prepared? Laundry done? Etc. The specific questions depend on the trip..
In my case I visiting my mother during late August (where the weather will be 20 to 30 degrees lower then where I live). We may go shopping, visit friends, maybe go on a day trip somewhere. Most likely she will do most of the cooking and I will have access to a washer. I have to watch my sodium intake because of my blood pressure and also suffer from Eczema.
This helps me in planning my clothes since I don't need anything super dressy and just need something nice in case we eat somewhere nice. I also don't need a lot of clothes since I have access to a washer, nor fill up my suitcase with a towel, since she will have one. I need to take the items for my Eczema and blood pressure as well. She doesn't have Internet so I don't need a laptop, but instead will use a tablet.
By having things written down it will help you organize your thoughts and make sure you don't forget anything.
