Pre-Trip To Do List

How to prepare your home for a stress-free vacation?

Preparing for a trip is about more than just packing a suitcase; it’s about ensuring your home remains secure and your return is organized. Follow this simple timeline to get "travel-ready":

  • Check Your Kitchen: Three days before you leave, use our Fridge Inventory List to find food that will go bad soon. Try to eat or throw out anything that will spoil before you get back, so your kitchen does not smell bad.
  • Take Care of Your Plans: Inform your bank when you will be traveling, and take photos of your passport and ID on your phone. Save these photos in a safe online folder in case you lose your actual documents.
  • Get Your Home Ready: On the morning you leave, use our pre-trip log to do a last check. Unplug small appliances, take out the kitchen trash, and set your thermostat to save energy while you are gone.
