Now that you've made the decision to go, got the time off and rounded up everybody, it's time to make sure that you've got all your ducks in a row. On the previous page, we have provided you with links to weather monitoring, and airport/flight status sites to help you get off on the right foot.

But even more important are some of the obvious things that may have slipped your mind during all the rushing of packing and preparing. Here is a list of things that we think are important and you can simply "print Page" at home or your office and use it as a guide.
