It's springtime in Asheville, North Carolina, and the tourists are beginning to pour into our beautiful mountain town. With all of the access to outdoor experiences and the natural beauty of the surrounding mountain ranges, it's no wonder that Buncombe County often feels overrun by visitors from around the world. 

With all the stress of people pouring in and our small-town feeling more and more metropolitan, sometimes it is good to just get away to gain a new perspective. But don't leave without first making a few crucial travel preparations. Extra measures can save you time, money, and even a headache (or back pain).

Travel Preparation Checklist

Taking the time to prepare will inevitably lead to a much more satisfying and stress-free getaway. Here are a few tips on how to make your next trip the best.

Month Before

• Ensure accommodations are booked and ready. Hotels, flights, car rentals should be checked.
• Make sure a friend or family member has a copy of your itinerary details. 
• Pick up a travel guide and a map.
• Are you traveling abroad? Make sure that your passport is up to date and that you are familiar with laws, safety measures, and where your consulate is. 
• Purchase proper power adapters.

Week Before

• Get any needed Covid tests or proof of vaccination information.
• Download entertainment
• Clean out your refrigerator and make sure your house is spotless.
• Withdraw whatever cash you need.
• Arrange to board for animals,
• Pack your bags

Health and Wellness for Traveling

With all of the travel preparations, it is often easy to forget to make sure to take some time to think about personal health and wellness. Long car rides or flights can put a lot of pressure on your back and neck, and chiropractors can help prepare the back. Chiropractors will look for and remove limitations in the spine, resulting in less pain. This will make traveling a breeze.
