  • Innkeepers Can be Concierges
    - While making a reservation with your bed and breakfast innkeeper, note that he/she can also act as your personal concierge by booking reservations to your favourite show or restaurant, even sometimes when there are no reservations available.

  • Is Your Passport Current
    - When you first start to plan for your trip, check the expiration date of your passport and, if necessary, send it in for renewal. You can renew a US passport by mail 1 year before it expires and 2 years after it expires. Check for any advance-application visas for countries you are planning to visit. Usually, you have to send your passport in with the visa application. I have seen people turned away at the airport check-in desk with expired or soon-to-expire passports. Many countries will not let you enter if your passport is within a few months of the expiry date.

  • Keep a Bag Ready-To-Go
    - Keep a cosmetic bag packed to go. If something is running low, leave a note in it to replenish the supplies upon your return. Also, on an index card list everything you need for a trip, and keep it handy for each trip. That way, you won't find yourself stranded in Podunk without underwear. You don't have to put clothes in plastic dry cleaner bags, just place the bags between clothes to save on wrinkles.

  • Keep a Checklist on Your Computer
    - Several days before leaving, make up a checklist of everything you need to take. Start with morning things (medications, shower necessities, etc.) and mentally go through and write down everything you will need for a day. Don't forget things like a clock, camera, laundry soap, etc. You can keep this list on your computer and pull it up whenever you need it.

  • Keep Your Sports Equipment and Wardrobe Packed
    - If you take trips that require any special wardrobe or equipment, keep it all in a duffle bag so that when the time comes, it is already packed and ready to go. For example, I have a ski bag that includes ski sweaters, hat & gloves, ski socks, thermals, goggles, etc. It saves a lot of mornings of buying equipment at the mountain at inflated prices.
