From having your mail held to setting up automatic email replies, Kurt “CyberGuy' Knutsson reveals six things to do before you leave for vacation.
Planning a vacation is exciting, but the lead-up can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. From managing mail delivery to ensuring home security, there are several steps you can take to make your time away more relaxing. Let’s dive into some practical tips to help you prepare before your next getaway.
Tip #1: Set up a vacation hold with the USPS You can easily set up a vacation hold with the USPS, allowing them to hold onto your mail at the post office while you're out of town. You can request one online directly from USPS, and you can even see photos of your mail in your email before it arrives with USPS’ Informed Delivery.
Tip #3: Setup security cameras outside your home If you enjoy having the peace of mind that your property is safe while you're gone, look into putting up security cameras around the entrances and exits of your home. We have a list of our top picks to amp up your home security here. Tip #4: Sign up for delivery services for groceries A wide variety of grocery delivery apps are available to download for those moments when you need groceries promptly — whether it’s after returning from vacation or during a trip. Nearly any grocery delivery app allows you to customize your order, including the date and time of drop-off. Often less expensive than resort food options, ordering groceries on vacation could save you money.
Tip #5: Set up a security camera inside your home Setting up a security camera inside your home allows you to monitor activity and provides peace of mind. If you have pets at home, you can use it to check in on them while you're away. Leaving them in the care of others can be stressful, and a camera allows you to ensure their well-being. I often travel with an inexpensive camera to watch my vacation rental when away from home.
