Also think about how long you are going to be there. You will want to make sure that you pack enough clothes for everyday that you are there. Chances of you washing clothes while on vacation are probably pretty slim.

Make arrangements for home

If you are planning to travel out of town for a certain amount of time, you may want to have someone check on your home and take care of a few things for you while you are away. If you have pets that you aren’t boarding, you want to make sure that someone comes in and feeds them and checks in on them for you. You may need someone to water your flowers or even get your mail for you while you are away.
