Even when you’re on vacation, it’s hard to leave all of your worries behind. By our very nature, some of us are worriers and always tend to have concerns about what’s going on back in the “real world” while we’re taking a trip. Have you ever been on a tour of Las Vegas or a trip to Hawaii and found yourself still worrying about an assignment that will be due when you get back to work? We believe it.

Even when you’re on vacation, it’s hard to leave all of your worries behind. By our very nature, some of us are worriers and always tend to have concerns about what’s going on back in the “real world” while we’re taking a trip. Have you ever been on a tour of Las Vegas or a trip to Hawaii and found yourself still worrying about an assignment that will be due when you get back to work? We believe it. And worse is when you have concerns about the actual trip itself. While we can’t help you out with any concerns you might have back at home, we do have some pointers to help you not have to worry about the trip itself. Here are some pointers:
• Get a three-ring binder or file folder to keep all of your important documents in. Nothing can be more distracting than having to worry about where you put your passports, maps, plane tickets, itineraries, etc. So buy something that will hold all of these documents together so you won’t have to worry about finding these in your belongings when on your tour.
• Create a travel checklist full of things that you need to do before you head out on your trip. We’re probably all guilty of trying to remember to do something before we head out for our trip and then not necessarily knowing whether or not we remembered everything. Making a checklist and writing things down as you remember to do them will make you more likely to actually remember to do them, giving you one less thing to worry about while on your vacation.
• Have your children pack a separate bag for themselves. Not only will it give them something to do for a couple of hours, but they could be more likely to remember to pack that favorite stuffed animal of theirs than you might be. Also, on a related note, try to figure out seating arrangements beforehand. If you’re traveling with a large group or just your family, identify seating arrangements beforehand to limit this from becoming an issue when you’re actually traveling.
• Leave behind anything that can be used to contact you. If you have a company cell phone or laptop, don’t take it. And do your best to resist the urge to try and contact your coworkers – you can tell them all about your trip to Hawaii when you get back!
• Bring along some reading materials, a deck of cards or some other simple diversions to get into when that urge to think about work hits. This is your vacation, you’ve earned it and there’s no reason to waste any time thinking about the office.
• Taking an arranged tour will help remove worries about where you’re going to stay, where you’re going to eat, what destinations you’re going to see, how you’re going to get there and so forth. Removing these concerns from your life and be that much more of a relief when you try and enjoy your trip.
• Make sure to plan out how much money you’ll need or bring along a credit card or other form of payment in case you end up needing some extra money along the way. Your vacation will probably include a few hotspots when it comes to shopping and you might be tempted to spend outside of your allotted budget. Plan for splurges such as these and bring enough money to make sure to cover them.
