Hello My Allys,

It’s a beautiful Tuesday and as promised continuing the the Series of Ultimate Travel Checklist which we began last week in #BeingallycaralTuesdaytips 👒 I am back here again to speak about the next phrase of the Checklist. This week, we will discuss about What are the things one needs to keep in mind – a week before your travel.

So Let’s get started :

  1. Get Your Travel Documents/ Hotel, Accommodation details – Make Sure you keep all Your Travel Documents – Passport, Flight/Train/ Bus Ticket ready and printed in a file. This will allow easy accessibility.
  2. Currency Exchange – If you are travelling outside your country then know about the currency of the place you will be heading and visit a Foreign Exchange Company and exchange currency as per the rates to have hard cash in your hand once you land on your travel destination.
  3. Pet Sitting & House Sitting – While you are enjoying your vacation, make sure everything back home is perfect and that you can only make sure in advance. So here is my previous post – a Checklist For Home Before You Travel which will help you.
  4. Load Money on Travel Card – Several times taking hard cash, may not be the ultimate solution as you cannot travel with a lot of hard cash. Banks have now introduced Travel Cards, all what you have to do is load money on the Travel Card and there it is, you can shop on the go by simply swiping your card at a shopping mall or a restaurant.
  5. Think About Devices You will Carry – Make a list of all possible electronic devices which you will carry. And check them for their condition, like if your device is travel ready, the equipment you are carrying is in proper working condition, right from the bag that you will be carrying it in to the  plug chargers you will be using. Make sure everything is in a ‘travel ready’ condition. If not, get it fixed before you travel.

If you have some more things to be added in the checklist of a week before you travel then go ahead comment below and suggest your point. With this here’s time to say bye! Another set of Checklist coming your way in the next article. Take Care!

Ultimate Travel Checklist – When You Book Your Travel!

Hi My Lovely Allys,

Welcome to another blog post of #BeingallycaralTuesdaytips 👒 I hope this week is treating you well. This Week I thought of providing a Series of Ultimate Travel Checklist which will includes a series of articles which will be spread over a couple of week to provide you the perfect guide before your next trip.

To begin this week, Let’s start with the What are the things one should keep in mind while booking your trip:

  1. Validity of Passport – Check Your Passport date for validity, ensure that the expiry of the passport is no where close to your travel holiday dates. In case, it is renew the same immediately avoid waiting for last minutes especially when you plan to travel for a long holiday.
  2. Matching of Names – Matching of Names is important, the name on your Passport needs to match with the name on your ticket booked, Several times this creates a lot of confusion at the airport with the officials. So while booking tickets, book it on the name mentioned on your passport.
  3. Know the Weather – This may sound like a general advisory but this is very important especially when do the packing. Knowing the weather helps a lot while packing for example, if you get to know that the place will experience a rainfall, you can pack accordingly carry an umbrella and rainy sandals, if it is the other way round that it will snow then you can pack your winter clothes to keep you warm and safe from the snow.
  4. Get Yourself Vaccinated – This is optional but several times this is very important, vaccination or medication helps to keep your immune system strong and also several times protects you from any viral or sickness.
  5. Keep Yourself Updated with Current Affairs – Read about the place you plan to visit, about the current happenings, see if any warnings or anything has been issued. It’s always better to be aware about such things then going to the place and then regretting.

If you have some travel checklist which needs to be kept in mind before you plan your travel, Comment below. Until next time,Take Care!
