hey there this video is about what not to forget when you travel I am giving
you a checklist of what not to forget before you leave on vacation. one by one
this checklist of what not to forget before you travel is for a couple of
weeks before your flight as well as all the way up to the minute you arrive at
the airport. I also have three things not to forget if you are flying
internationally at the very end of this video. before you travel do not forget to
pack extra medicines or your prescriptions just in case your flight
is canceled and you're forced to stay an extra night in Hawaii. that way you'll
have an extra few pills to get you through the night in that next day of
traveling back home. be sure to click the bell bye subscribe to tell you to how
often you want to receive my weekly free travel tips video. the Transportation
Security Administration does have permission to cut into your suitcase if
there is a lock on it that is not approved or just if it's just faster for
them to just cut the lock. just know that that may happen if you have a lock on
your checked luggage. another thing to think about when you're packing a
checked suitcase is to be smart and pack your valuables all your essentials on
your person in your personal bag. if your checked luggage gets in the wrong hands
by chance there's nothing essential that cannot be replaced because all of those
essentials were on your person with you at all times inside the airplane. before
you travel do not forget to pack your passport or your identification and do
not forget that all liquids in a carry-on bag need to go in one quart
sized clear bag and the containers inside need to be no larger than 3.4
ounces or less you can't have like a large bottle of shampoo with just a
little bit of liquid in there the containers have to be that size I want
to tell my loyal subscribers that this bag is back in Sephora online and I will
link it below for you and auntie told me a while back that if you have sinus
problems on an airplane from the dry or if you are prone to nosebleeds to
squirt your nose like before you leave your house so that all of that up and
there will be moist for the flight if you're traveling through several hotels
on your vacation I suggest that you pack a bright-colored lid to house your watch
or little trinket jewelry we never travel with super expensive jewelry
cheap jewelry is just fine so that we don't stick out to pick pocketers but
anyway pack a bright lid to store those little things even your key card because
a lot of jewelry blends in with the granite or with the counter tops in
hotel rooms I have lost a watch because I forgot to
grab it off of the bedside table when I travel on an airplane I put eyedrops in
my eyes the day of my flight because of the dry air inside the airplane and then
if I am traveling for on a long-haul flight I will put these in mid-flight
one subscriber told me that she packs her prescription for her eyeglasses or a
picture of what that prescription is in case you step on sit on or lose your
eyeglasses while you're on vacation but another thing that you could also do is
just take that old pair that's a little close to your present subscript or
prescription when you travel do not forget to take your regular face
moisturizer when you are in a different city that is not when you want to know
that you are allergic to this new kind of lotion I wanted to tell y'all that we
are getting a puppy in the end of September so I will be taking a break in
the fall from making videos but be sure to tell YouTube if you want to be
reminded once a week when I do start doing videos again but I've got a few
for August and September for you when you travel do not forget to unplug all
major electronics including your coffeemaker not only are you preventing
a fire but you are also saving energy because they are using energy while
you're gone even though they're turned off do not forget to not eat high-salt
foods a couple of days before you travel because just your legs swell I highly
recommend Zella compression leggings I will link
those below they feel like leggings more than the thin restrictive type
compression sleeves that are out there these leggings are high-waisted but they
do not restrict any part of my leg I also have some tips for long-haul
flights that will help you with your circulation flow in your legs and I will
link that in the I cards or in the description box below for you do not
forget to set your lights on a timer when you leave for vacation and do not
forget to research a couple of weeks before your travel of where to go in
that city places to eat you can look on TripAdvisor you can research like great
YouTube videos that tell you what the cruise ship is like or where to go that
kind of thing let me know in the poll right here if you trust traveler's
insurance if you've ever used it let me know what you think or put it in the
description box in a comment when you travel to the airport and use uber or a
taxi do not give them your home address so that that is one less person who
knows your house is going to be empty for the next five days or whatever give
them your neighbor's address and be standing in their driveway or under
their little front doors stoop and that way if a burglar does come back to that
empty house they will see activity and think that you're already back home in
the south we have to remember this when we leave for vacation we leave our
washing machine door or lid open so that there's no moldy smell when we get back
before you travel do not forget to download the airline's
app so that on the day that you are leaving for vacation before you leave
your house check the airline's app and see where the airplane will be parked at
sometimes when you check your flight status like the day before when you
check-in it's going to give you another gate but the day of they have weather or
they need to move planes around your gate departure could be at a different
location in a big airport you would then know which terminal to be dropped off at
because that's the terminal where your airplane is part do not forget to pack
snacks for your flight in case it's still
later a long time on the tarmac before you leave or when you land and the
there's an airplane parked in your spot and your airplane is sitting there on
the tarmac waiting and you are starving if you were traveling with a baby
I recommend bringing extra milk because you could be sitting on the tarmac an
extra two hours and it does not count as a liquid but the Transportation Security
Administration asks that you do pull it out when you go through security so they
do see that in your cooler or wherever you have it just pull it out and put it
in the bin and then you'll also pull out your liquids bag going through security
when you are making your packing list do not forget to check the weather at your
destination because that dictates what kinds of shoes you are going to need and
then if you know your shoes you will know what clothes to pack I have a great
video on travel safety tips that will tell you a tip about having a policeman
do a drive-by around your house randomly while you're on vacation and I'll link
that video there and in the description box for you when you are driving to the
airport do not forget to take off your sunglasses that you're wearing in your
car I always pack my sunglasses in a case in my weekender bag or in my
backpack and then I have before forgotten and I've worn my sunglasses
into the airport it's just an added thing that I don't need to pack so don't
forget to take them off do not forget to pack a cardigan or a hoodie in your
personal item bag in case the airplane or the airport is freezing and then in
the same way do not forget to dress in layers in case the airport or the
airplane is sweltering hot you just never know do not forget to pack your
medicines in your personal item bag so that in case your suitcase has to be
checked at the last minute and the belly of the airplane and then it gets lost
those medicines are with you on your person ok I have three tips for
traveling internationally do not forget that traveler's checks are not
universally accepted anymore we use ATMs once we get to that country
because they have a lower exchange rate versus like getting your money exchanged
in an airport that's a way overcharged and also with ATMs we
learned the hard way in pouring down snow and rain on a Sunday ATMs are
pretty much out of cash everywhere you're going so get your cash in another
country and an ATM on any day besides Saturday or Sunday when you travel
internationally do not forget to tell your credit card company or your bank
that you will be out of the country and spending that money and then also I like
to write down my credit card number or my credit card companies phone number in
case it does get stolen and put it in a different place and finally in other
countries in Europe you will need to pack loose coins to pay to use the
restroom and also to maybe tip the person man or woman who is in the
women's restroom when you are done all right let me know down below if there's
one more thing that you will not ever forget again when you travel and thanks
