Your Holiday Preparation Guide

Picture this: you’ve just spent the last four hours listening to a crying baby on your Ryanair flight. The last thing you want to do when you get home is change your bed sheets.

Coming home to a freshly made bed can instantly lift your spirits after a long journey. Make sure your return is greeted with comfort and relaxation.

Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than coming home to a clean home. Utilise your time away by scheduling a professional cleaning service for your carpets and upholstery. With ample drying time, you’ll return to a fresh and revitalised living space.

Before you jet off to your dream destination, double-check that your passport is in date. It’s also wise to make a copy of it, just in case of emergencies. Keeping your passport and travel documents in a designated, secure spot will help reduce the risk of misplacing them.

Remember to leave a spare key with a trusted family member or neighbour. Ideally someone who won’t mistake your home for a new Airbnb listing! Ask them to check your post and put the bins out (no one wants to come home to an overflowing black bin). It’s also handy to have someone you can call if you need access to the house while you’re away.

Prioritise your financial arrangements before you set off. Make sure you have access to online banking and let your bank know about your travel plans.

Card machines are everywhere these days, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t carry some cash, especially when travelling to a country you’re not as familiar with. It’s always wise to be prepared for the unexpected.

If you have furry friends, make sure their care is arranged before you head off. Whether it’s a stay at a kennel or help from a relative, prioritise their well-being by ensuring they’re not left alone for long periods. Be sure to leave clear instructions outlining any specific dietary or medical needs your pet may have.

Stay connected while abroad by checking your phone’s data and call plan before you go. Make sure the country you’re travelling to isn’t subject to roaming charges, you don’t want to come home to a hefty phone bill!

Share your contact details with loved ones and keep theirs handy for peace of mind while you’re away.

Don’t leave home without the essentials! Pack items like suncream, a toothbrush, phone charger, and a change of clothes in your carry-on—just in case of any unexpected delays or mishaps.

A portable charger is also a holiday must-have, making sure your phone stays powered during day trips or long, lazy days at the beach.

Before you depart, ensure that your home security systems are functioning correctly. Double-check locks on windows and doors, and consider investing in timers for lights or motion sensor lights to deter any potential intruders.  As an extra safety precaution, don’t tell anyone else other than your friends and loved ones how long you will be out of the house.

Prioritize your health by packing any necessary medications or supplements. Research medical facilities at your destination and consider travel insurance for added peace of mind in case of unexpected illnesses or injuries. Find out if your travel destination has a any health risks so you and your loved ones can be prepared.
