About this template
The things that ruin a trip are usually small and at home: an expired passport, a card blocked abroad, a tap left dripping. This checklist catches them.
Sections run in time order, from a month before you leave to the morning you go. It works for a weekend in Johor or two weeks in Europe.
Tips from the template
- Apply it about four weeks before you leave.
- Delete what does not apply to this trip.
- Save it again next time; most of it repeats.
