Spring travel officially begins Sunday and my first trip of the season... Denver, CO.
Current weather conditions: Snow, and lots of it.
The airport is currently shutdown for the most part. Hopefully though everything will all be cleared up by Sunday evening. Not to worry though, my appointments don't begin till Monday mid morning, because I planned in some extra time for bad weather.
Whenever I leave for my first travel trip of the season, I undoubtedly will forget to bring something with me. After returning home I will put said forgotten item, into my travel bag so I am ready to go for the next trip. In the past I tend to forget at least one of the following items: headphones, phone or laptop charger, ear plugs, razors, sunglasses, fingernail clippers, or belt. Keeping an extra set of some of these types of items in your travel bag can dramatically reduce the stress of packing.
Things to pack before a winter trip...
Of course don't forget the basics: boots, coat, thermal shirt or leggings, gloves, scarf, etc. Something extra to consider packing though is a rag or washcloth. Use it to wipe off the wheels of your luggage, or shoes after walking in snow or mud. It keeps your things looking nicer and hopefully keep you from getting slushy mud all over the place.
Winter Travel Tip:
If you are traveling to a place that could potentially have ice or snow, make sure to ask the rental car company for an ice scrapper. Otherwise you might be using that plastic plate from the breakfast bar at your hotel.
Until next time I am....
