If you are planning a vacation this summer, plan ahead. Always keep all your notes on airfares, hotels, places of interest to visit, and an action sheet, in one folder. Choose a quidebook and surf the web sites to help you plan. As an organizer, guidebooks give direct information about a location and then I can surf the web for more in depth information. This organizer just got back from a cruise and doing the analysis dollar for dollar, it saved us money. All the food was provided, only unpacked once for 12 days, and no gasoline worries. I also used a travel agent. (I will be glad to share their names) It was no more expensive to book through a travel agent then online and they kept track of all the needed paperwork for the trip until four weeks before. When you book a vacation check all your family members passports to make sure they are up to date in case your destination requires one. One week before check the weather conditions. Avoiding under packing or over packing – with all the new weight restrictions on airplanes – will avoid stress. Plus Nipomo Organizing Solutions offers a great idea on how to save your information (paperwork, post cards, notes and thoughts on the sights you visit) you collect when you are on your vacation too. Email us and we would be glad to order you one with the Vacation Countdown Checklist. Be organized and reduce stress and you will relax and enjoy your vacation
