Tips for Holiday Travel Remember to contact your District Office if you and your family are on travel more than seven days One Week Prior to Vacation: •
Check the weather before your trip and modify any changes needed.
•
Begin packing and leave room for “day of extras”. Also, over-packing a bit for the kids can help ward off any unexpected trips to your local store.
•
If taking any animals pack their travel bag; don’t forget their favorite toy!
•
Check under all sinks, around toilets and outdoor spigots for leaks, if you notice any leaks please call Lincoln at Your Service at 1-888-578-4141 to have the leak repaired before your vacation.
The day or evening before your Vacation: •
Double check all bags for any possible forgotten items.
•
To assist in unwanted delays at security double check with the airlines regarding what cannot be in your carry-on.
•
Throw away any foods that will spoil while gone. Take out any trash and unplug all non-essential appliances.
•
Place timers on a few lights inside and lock all doors and windows.
•
Lower your thermostat to a minimum of 68 degrees (in the colder months).
•
If you live in an area that can freeze over night leave your sink cabinets open and leave your faucet valves with a slow drip.
