Finally, do what you can to leave your home feeling relaxed and confident
. Leave yourself plenty of time to get to the airport so you are not leaving in a rush. Do a final walk through in each room so you know everything is in place. Leave a note for the house or pet sitter and let a neighbor you trust know you will be away and to keep an eye out for things. Once you have locked up, take a minute to run through things in your mind so you get on the plane feeling confident everything is secure.
