There are many things that you may need to accomplish before you go on vacation. You want to have everything ready so that you can have a relaxing and worry-free vacation.
Make sure that all of your plans are confirmed
You may want to confirm your travel plans. You may want to doublecheck the status of the flight. Make sure that you have made all arrangements for the hotel and so forth.
Take care of everything needed for your home while you are gone
There are various things that you may need to arrange for your house and its inhabitants while you are gone. Make sure that you set the temperature to what you want it to be when you are gone. You may not need it as cold and can save money on cooling bills. Make sure that you have made arrangements for your plants. You may leave them outside to get water, put in an automatic watering system or have someone come in to water them for you. Of course you will want to make all necessary arrangements for your pets. If it is a very short trip and you are going to be leaving them on their own make sure that they have plenty of food and water and that all breakables objects that are dangerous to them are away. If you are going to have someone come to take care of them then make sure you have gone over everything with them and that they know what to do. Make sure that you have made arrangements for your mail and newspaper by stopping it or having someone come out to take it if it will not all fit in your mailbox. You may also want someone to come in and just check on the house once in a while if you are going to be gone for an extended amount of time. Also, if you are going away for a long time and will have a car sitting there you might want to have someone come and drive it once in a while.
Pack and make all of your preparations for your vacation

You may want to make a list of everything you want packed in advance and check things off so that you will not forget anything.
