Planning a trip?  School’s out, the weather’s warm and you need a break.  When was the last time you took a vacation?  If you had to think about it, it’s been too long.  Your vacation of a lifetime is waiting for you and CareFree Concierge is here to help!  Bring your summer vacation plans into focus by seeking the guidance of CareFree Concierge.  Whether you want to go on a beach vacation, visit a historic location or go on a cruise, we are here to help!  You can have us help pick the destination and plan your itinerary or you can visit our affiliate travel site and book it yourself easily and quickly.

1. Keep your vacation planning information in a handy place. Create a labeled folder and use it to keep your airline, hotel, and car rental information.
2. Plan ahead for your wardrobe. Think about all of the activities you might do, and imagine what you'd want to wear for each activity. 
3. Use a travel checklist so you don’t forget anything.  What items do you need/want to bring?
4. Pack a carry-on that is small enough to stay with you at all times. Include the necessities that you must have in the event that you get separated from your other luggage. For example, if you need to take medication, be sure this is with you.
5. Plan early to get the best selection and to get early booking discounts. If you reserve airline tickets, rental cars, and hotel/motel accommodations early, they are usually cheaper. Anything you can reserve early will only save you headaches later.
6. If you're traveling to another country, make sure to check out the Currency Converter for International Exchange Rates.
7. Plan how you will spend your vacation.  Get clear about what you want to do and whom you want to do it with, and then plan to make it happen.
8. Decide who will take care of your pets or if you want to board them.
9. Decide who will collect your mail and newspapers or arrange to have them held while you are away. If you have houseplants to care for you may ask a neighbor or family member to plant sit.  Or you could always call CareFree Concierge.
10. HAVE FUN!!!

1. Does everybody want to relax on a beach, hike a mountain, visit a national park, go shopping or visit museums and cultural sites?
2. How far and by what means do you want to travel?
3. Find out about hotels and resort choices in the area.  Do they offer the particular facilities that your family is looking for, such as a swimming pool or a spa? Also, this is also a good time to find out about the hotel's reservation and cancellation policy. Make all the necessary reservations, such as hotel rooms, airline and car rental reservations.
4. What is your vacation budget?  Add up transportation, accommodation, dining and entertainment expenses.
5. Do you want to purchase travel insurance in case you need to cancel your trip?
6. What do you need to purchase before you go?  Make a list.

The most important thing to remember when planning your vacation is that it’s supposed to be fun! Remind yourself of what matters most, and focus on that.  Please visit www.carefreevacations.worldventures.biz and click on book travel or call CareFree Concierge.  We look forward to helping you plan your perfect vacation!
