We go on Tuesday evening to the airport hotel - flying first thing Weds to Cyprus.

So far I have:
Printed tickets (flight, hotel, transfer, car parking, hotel night before)
Printed insurance
Checked in online and printed boarding passes
Washed all of DS' summer stuff
Gathered together my holiday stuff
I think DH has gathered his stuff together

I need to gather together toiletries/medications
Get DS to pack a case of toys for hand luggage
Properly pack everything

Undecided whether to iron before we go, or just iron in resort.

Anything else I need to do?

Check whether you need to inform the bank if you’re going abroad.

@emmaluvseeyore Thank you. Hadn't thought of that one.

Put your passports and E111 or whatever it's called these days with the bags. Ditto for spare euros if you have any lying around.

Directions/postcode for the airport hotel if you don't know where it is and a copy of your booking.

I always like to have my own copy showing date, hotel and parking entitlement in case their system shows different and they try to charge extra or claim your booking doesn't exist.

Depends on how long you'll be gone but we're off for 2 weeks, before we left we also:
Emptied fridge of anything that would go off, either freeze or bin
Put bins out/took to tip
Did a general tidy round because the worst thing in the world is to come home to a messy house
Made sure heating and hot water were off
Made sure all windows and doors were locked
Watered house plants

Does the EH1C work in Cyrpus? Will get husband to root them out. We have a "Travel folder" in which we carry all the print outs as above plus passports.

We've not changed much in cash this time as we're all incl but that is also with the print outs so cant be left behind.

Pre-flight hotel printed and filed in the travel folder too... it's a;ll filed in order of use too - I'm such a nerd.

I'll have this in my phone to do for Monday/Tuesday @Xiaoxiong. Thanks!
