You have booked your holiday, read the travel guide and bought new clothes ... what else is left to do but sit back and enjoy? ... Well, if you want to avoid a stressful start to your holiday try following the checklist in this helpful article. By Jez Rourke Enjoy your holiday from the moment you leave your front door You have booked your holiday, read the travel guide and bought new clothes ... what else is left to do but sit back and enjoy? ... Well, if you want to avoid a stressful start to your holiday try following our checklist: Do not Forget To ... 1. Ensure that passports and appropriate visas are valid: Essential if you want to get out of the country in the first place! 2. Tickets: Without at least a booking reference number, you may have trouble even getting on the plane 3. Lock all windows and doors: Simple enough, but often overlooked, and no one wants to come back off holiday to find that their home is bare. 4. Money: Even if you remember your tickets and passports, if you have forgotten your wallet, your holiday could be riddled with problems. Even if you do not have any local currency with you, most airports will have cash machines with which you can use your credit card. 5. Book time off work: The enjoyment of your holiday can be instantly forgotten if you get back to work to find that no one knew you were going! Ensure you have cancelled all appointments and completed as much work as you can. If possible, leave a day or two when you return for planning and catching-up. 6. Insurance: Not included in all holidays, so make sure you are covered. Accidents can happen. 7. Transfers: If your holiday does not include them, make sure you have arranged some yourself. If your holiday does include them, make sure you know who you should be meeting and where. 8. Ensure that your mobile phone is activated for use abroad: But check the tariffs first, or your phone bill could match the price of your holiday. 9. Make sure that all luggage is easily identifiable: There is nothing worse than losing your luggage on holidays, so make sure you can instantly tell yours apart from everyone else's. You may feel stupid with a pink ribbon tied round your case, but at least you will know it is yours (and so will everyone else). 10. Turn off central heating: Do not waste your money by leaving the heating on for two weeks (even if it does keep the cat warm). 11. Set up time switches for lighting to come on in the evenings: Scare off those burglars! 12. Dispose of fresh food in the fridge that may go bad: Get rid of anything that will go out of date, or you will regret it when you come back. 13. Set your satellite or cable receiver for favorite programs: Can you afford to miss those all-important soaps and game shows? 14. Water any houseplants: Do this before leaving, or better yet, give your neighbors a spare key and ask them to help you out while you are away. 15. Cancel milk / daily paper deliveries: Who wants to come home to a pile of old newspapers and sour milk?
