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.

. . . a wonderful wednesday afternoon and thoughts are drifting, drifting to far off places -- to romantic canals and glass museums, tiny boulangeries and grand archways, a sweet nostalgia for all the places we have been, and all of the places still in our dreams . . .
{p.s.} unbelievably, all of these beautiful photographs were taken by natasha, a lawyer from sydney, australia

london
new york

. . . a very favourite thing is to look back at old photographs of past trips -- so many memories and beautiful moments captured forever, and for the same reason, also love glimpses of others' vacation photographs -- and so, ecstatic to happen upon these shots of rome and cinque terre and other stunning places in italy, and was immediately lost in an enchanting world of dusky cathedrals, charming coastlines, prosciutto-wrapped figs and sandy beaches . . .
{p.s.} also lovely: venice
