Everyone told me to make my travel preparations early but I thought I had plenty of time. I had no idea how much there was to do and I waited too long before I began getting ready.

First, I had to apply for a passport and visa because I was going to visit a foreign country. I had to get several vaccines at the doctor’s office. Then I needed to drop by the bank and get some traveler’s checks. At the same time, there were many things to be taken care of at home. I had the phone disconnected and the dog taken to the kennels, but I almost forgot to have the milk and newspaper deliveries stopped. The postman had to remind me to leave my forwarding address at the post office. I know it would have slipped my mind if he hadn’t mentioned it.

The day I was supposed to leave, I realized I still hadn’t received my passport and visa. I simply couldn’t believe the time had passed so quickly. I was really afraid I would be left behind.

Fortunately, the mail was delivered early and my passport arrived. By the time I got to the airport, they were already calling my flight. I just barely had time to make it. As soon as I sat down inside the plane, I remembered that I hadn’t taken my camera, but it was too late to worry about that. I would have to buy another one if I wanted to take pictures. I did have a wonderful time during this trip, but the next time I plan to travel, I’m going to be sure to start preparing early enough to avoid all the last minute problems.
