1. Business Cards

You might think you’ll never need a business card while enjoying one of those best family vacation spots. This is limited thinking, though!

Bring a few business cards to exchange wherever you go during your next family vacation getaway. Hey, you never know who will be sitting next to you in that fancy restaurant… or lying beside you at the beach!

2. Your Resume and/or CV (Curriculum Vitae)

Like business cards, you might assume that a family vacation getaway could never be a place to drop your resume or CV… but you might want to guess again. Plenty of people have traveled to a spot, fallen in love with it, and then decided to move there permanently.

Make sure your credentials are updated and polished. Oh, and keep them in a manila envelope or folder so they aren’t crunched up between bottles of shampoo and baby wipes!

3. A List of Friends’ and Relatives’ Addresses

Ever been on a family vacation getaway, started to write post cards and then realized you hadn’t a clue what the addresses of your family or friends were?

Next time, jot down all that information and keep it with you; it’ll make writing notes to loved ones and acquaintances back home as easy as stepping outside of your Florida vacation condo into the warm sun!
