It’s easy to get caught up thinking about your impending vacation, especially if you are a snowbird planning to head south for the winter. You probably can't wait to make the trip to the airport and start your vacation. Amid the excitement, it is imperative that you take care of things at home first.
An important part of vacation planning is ensuring your home is safe while you are away on vacation. No one wants to come home after a relaxing vacation to see the signs of a break-in. Worse yet, no one wants to receive a call while on vacation because something has gone wrong at home; make sure you have emergency return travel insurance to cover the costs and lessen the blow.
