The Corporate Beach House in Manly
There are some very simple preparations that you need to make before going on a one to two week holiday in Australia whether it is local or interstate.
Preparations
Now that your accommodation (and air tickets?) are booked you need to make preparations for your holiday.
Preparing your Home and Garden
If your lawn needs cutting then do it a day or two before you plan to leave.Give your whole garden a good soaking so that it will survive best without your regular watering when you are away.
Consider asking a friend or relative to stay in your home for security and peace of mind. If you need to research different kennel or dog walking services for your family pet(s).
Check if there is linen supplied for you at the accommodation or if you have to bring your own.
If you have a good relationship with your neighbours ask if they could put out and take in your rubbish bins on collection day. You may also ask them to empty your letter box as an overflowing letter box is a sure invitation to thieves.
Consider what work could be done on your home while you are away. If you have a reliable tradesperson it might be the time to get your house painted or repairs done. Another option is to have a pest spray done whilst your pets and children are not in your home.
On Departure Day
Double check all locks on your doors and windows are secure.
If you have lights that you can set on a timer this is a good security system for when you are away.
Even if you don’t have a particularly good relationship with you your neighbours still let them know that you will be away so that they can keep an eye on your home.
If you are going away with children during school term, you will need to inform their school.
Cancel any regular activities for your family has such as swimming lessons, regular coffee catch-ups, soccer practice etc.
Make a list of what you need to pack for the entire family.
If you are going to be traveling some distance by car, make sure your car is in good condition; ensure that it has sufficient oil and that the tyres are in good condition. You should also plan to leave with a full tank of petrol.
Put ice-bricks in the freezer, you will need them in the cooler box.
Some people like to pre-cook and freeze meals such as lasagne and stews so that Mum can have a bit of a holiday herself.
Take lots of batteries for the children’s devices.
If you are flying make sure you confirm your booking and book your seats as soon as you can.
Buy or rent some DVDs for the children during the road or aeroplane trip. You could if you prefer hire audio books from the library and that way they will be learning even when on holiday.
