GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

Perhaps the single most important of details before you depart for your trip, [besides your packing list!, of course], is taking care of the things you treasure most of all: your home and the loved ones in it, and the details of your life.



Many travel for business and/or vacation without giving much thought to possibility that something might happen to them while away, and though it is never favorable to think upon, it is important to take extra measures to ensure everything is in order, and so, today’s {take me away} column discusses some of the important details one must take care of beforehand, as well as a few other important things to take along on the voyage . . .



T H E · T R A V E L · I N F O R M A T I O N · L I S T

Each destination [as there could be multiple destinations planned for one trip] would have its own set of details [repeated for each destination] that should include the following information:

destination: be specific, i.e. London, UK

method of travel: car rental company & contact information, train or flight details, airline and contact information, etc.

destination accommodations: where you are staying, be it as a guest with family or friends, hotel, rental home, etc. along with name and address, website and/or telephone number



departure date: when you expect to arrive at the given destination
date of return: day, month, year

method of travel: which flight, with details; or car, train, etc. with details, if different from above

expected arrival time: by estimation [vital to include]



It is important to leave your emergency contact information with whomever is staying at your home while you are away -- be it a neighbor, family member, or a trusted friend. Feel free to use this list as a starting point for your own. You may wish to customize some of the notations, especially if you have numerous pets, children at home, and/or additional people living within your home.

. . . and in the midst of all the busy-ness this week, a few moments to leaf through wallpaper samples and for lunch dates, for long, leisurely conversations and perfect stolen kisses . . . and for the next two days, the enchanting sound of falling leaves and silvery clouds, elegant marble floors and long cashmere scarves, and most of all, knowing for certain that le coup de foudre/love at first sight truly does exist . . .

wherever in the world you may be or whatever lovely things you may have planned, hope you're having an impossibly beautiful weekend,

. . . and after all the shades of mustard, wheat, and honey from recent photographs of our weekends away, was reminded again how warm yellow can be this time of year, especially when intermingled with deep wood tones and gold . . .

{a few photographs of our weekends away}

. . . while evenings in the city may be spent in heels and cocktail dresses, weekends away in the country are laid-back in a quilted Barbour and a pair of wellies, and after the apple orchards and pumpkin patches, the golden fields of wheat and rustling yellow leaves, a perfect afternoon for an autumn picnic for two . . .
