Holiday Vacations - 'Don't Forget List'
To try and ensure nothing is forgotten for a pending holiday away, - for many people a ‘Don’t Forget List' of holiday reminders is vital for remaining focused. Remind yourself of daywear clothing, swimwear, tablets, sun creams, plasters, hairbrushes, toothbrushes and other vital commodities, - as well as less vital things which will help to make a happy holiday. Make mention also of 'reminders' on 'Don't Forget List' - like turning off the gas and cancelling the newspapers, and taking precious pets to their holiday kennels and catteries. If appropriate, mention to neighbours that you will be absent from the homestead for the holiday duration.

Holiday Insurance
Never underestimate the importance of holiday insurance or travel insurance - especially if holidaying abroad. The cost of holiday insurance, or travel insurance, is far from prohibitive. In fact, it’s probably the least of all vacation expenditures, in the whole scheme of things, and it could turn out to be the most important and significant expenditure of all.
