Prep is the key to leisurely travel. While some of the appeal to summer travel is to slow down and go with the flow, that doesn’t mean you should overlook travel prep. Be sure to take these steps to make it easier for you to relax once you reach your destination.

  1. Create a Pre-Travel Checklist

Create a checklist to ensure you bring all the necessities, from sunscreen and phone chargers to passports and medications. This can prevent you from arriving to your destination only to realize that all the swim suits are at home.

  1. Check Out Your Summer Travel Destination Online

Make sure you are well acquainted with the area you’re traveling to. Go online to check out safety protocols, weather forecasts, and any upcoming events so you’re not caught off guard when you arrive.

  1. Don’t Forget Health Insurance Information

While, of course, no one wants to experience a health incident during a vacation, it’s important to be prepared with insurance cards and emergency phone numbers. That way, you and your family can vacation confidently and avoid panic should any unexpected health event take place while away from home.
