Ladies, let's get real. We all want to be, and feel, are best to kick off our vacay, so make an appointment to get those must-have, travel ready spa treatments in and pamper yourself before you head off to explore! Nothing starts off a vacation than some much needed selfcare.

With all the hustle and bustle of getting prepared to go on vacation, make sure to find the perfect sitter for your fur babies. Give your pet some time to get to know the sitter so they feel comfortable while you are gone exploring. And don't forget to bring back a fabulous thank you gift for your sitter as well!

There is no time like the present to make sure your passport has a minimum of 6 months left on it from the start of your travel date.  To get further information on renewing your passport, you may visit https://www.usa.gov/renew-adult-passport.

Don't get caught abroad with no money or cell service. Make sure to notify your credit card companies and cell phone provider that you will be traveling so they are on alert in case of fraud. You want to make sure that your credit cards aren't blocked while you are traveling and your don't want to return home from a lovely vacation only to find enormous roaming fees.
