Before You Leave Home (Helpful Tips)....

• Plan your adventure early for the best property selections. The longer you wait, the less selection you will have.

• Talk with your family or partner about vacation expectations. You can't please everyone, but careful planning always helps.

• Bring a map! Plan your route to your destination carefully.

• Be sure to leave an itinerary and contact numbers with a family member or neighbor - all JMH properties have telephones and the number is on your rental agreement.

• Throw away any food in the fridge that could spoil in your absence. Also, for added safety, place a Zip-Loc bag with ice cubes in your freezer; if you return to find that the cubes melted, you can dispose of any foods spoiled by an extended power outage.

• When planning your vacation itinerary, make sure not to over-book yourself. Leave time to simply relax, so that if a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises, you and your group have time for the adventure.

• Don't over-pack. Lugging around four suitcases is not relaxing. Choose a flexible wardrobe in which outfits can be mixed and matched. Pick comfortable shoes that will go with several outfits.

• Keep a small travel bag at hand with all necessities. There should be no need to open your expertly packed suitcases until you arrive at your destination.

• Leave it the way you found it. On any trip, be a conscientious tourist. Place your trash and cigarette butts in appropriate receptacles and keep the areas you visit beautiful for all.

• Bring the right attitude! You cannot plan for the unexpected, so embrace the unknown. You might just have the time of your life.
