Make sure you know your neighbor's last name and previous convictions, if any. Before Your Flight Confirm your flight reservation. Make sure any prescription medications you need have been filled. For 72 hours, eat like a bird. This way when you're in Rome, scarfing that 5 th plate of rigatoni and meatballs, you'll still feel good about yourself.
Rationalization makes the best travelling companion.
Budget for your trip. Water the plants for the last time. Tell your philodendron to watch over your wandering jew. Worry incessantly that you forget something. Complain that you really can't afford this trip, you should be paying off your VISA instead.
