One final post in our series on travel. Do make sure that you lay the groundwork needed to make your next trip even better:

• Check your suitcase for any needed repairs (zippers, wheels, etc.).
• Make sure you still have luggage tags on suitcases — inside and outside.
• Store your suitcases with a dryer sheet or sachet inside.
• If necessary, restock your travel toiletries.
• Make a note of anything else you might need to replace: bathing suit, cover up, snorkel gear, binoculars, etc.
• Review your packing list to see if anything needs to change.
• Check how you did against your budget. Do you need to save more for your next trip?
• What did you learn on this trip that will make your next trip even better?
