I, too, keep a list on my computer. There is room to add items that are unique to a particular trip, such as gifts we need to bring along. There is also room for a pre-trip to-do list such as turning off the water (good advice from a neighbour), stopping newspapers and mail, leaving contact info with a neighbour, or returning library books before we go. I keep a master packing list, and we make a new copy with minor revisions for each trip. I start working on the list several days before we go. That always reminds us of errands that must be done before the trip -- shopping for clothes or gifts, depleting perishables in the fridge, etc. Having a checklist not only prevents us from forgetting to take along essentials, but it also gives us a reminder list for the homeward trip so we don't leave things behind.LindaZedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296098246374742369noreply@blogger.com
