Things to Do One Day Before You Travel
1. Pay bills that will come due while you are away.
2. Walk around with your packed luggage to evaluate your comfort with the weight of the luggage.
3. Move houseplants away from direct sunlight, water thoroughly and wrap pots with plastic. Most plants can then live without further watering for two weeks.
4. Empty the refrigerator of items that might spoil.
5. Cancel or hold your newspaper delivery.
6. You might want to turn your refrigerator to its lowest setting.
7. Set automatic light and radio timers if no one will be staying at your home. Check the bulbs to see if they will last for your entire trip.
