Christmas Post #7 Planning for Travel and Guests

       

           This doesn't pertain to EVERYONE. Some people don't need to travel anywhere, and are down the street from family. Unfortunately, that's becoming less and less common. A lot of us have family coming, or we're going to them. It seems like it's SO early, but plan for your travel or guests now.

       Travel, as far as I'm concerned is a bigger one. If you're traveling, you need to include this in your budget, and book early, because we all know at Christmas, you're not the only one traveling. Also consider accommodations. I know at Christmas, family tends to overflow in houses...if you plan on booking a room, that is something you want to book early, because if you wait, believe it or not, you could be in trouble. We've had family stay in hotels over Christmas, and they get lucky they book when they do.

      When it comes to guests, think comfort. They're traveling to be with you, do what you can to make them comfortable when they get there? Have some spare toothbrushes, and put an extra blanket in their room. Also again, accommodations, are you going to have enough room for everyone? Will you need to buy air mattresses? Or will your guests need to get a room? In that case make sure you tell them early so they can plan and book. We're going to be an overflowing house this year, complete with air mattresses.

      Your latest assignment, there you have it, and the last one of the month! 

       K, Luv Ya Bye!
