Have you ever left the house for a holiday and wondered: is the stove on? Or are my clothes still on the line? We've all been there. No matter how many times you've gone for a holiday, the morning of the trip is enough to make you frazzled. Making breakfast, checking the house and packing the car - we're not superhuman!

But this time you can equip yourself with a list of things to tick off you go.

Avoid the confusion and stress with our handy Pre-Road Trip Checklist. 

1. The Week Before

• Check the local visitor information centre to research what to do in the area
• Confirm the babysitter for your pets
• If you're bringing your pet, pre-purchase necessary supplies for your pup
• Check the phone & GPS coverage for your destination
• Make sure your driver's licence is up to date
• Check the tyre pressure of your car

2. The Day Before

• Take out a bit of cash (not everywhere uses eftpos!)
• Empty the fridge of perishables
• Water your precious plants
• Empty the bins
• Leave key & contact information for your pet babysitters
• If your dog is coming along for the holiday, make sure you have everything you need so he feels at home on the site, too!
• Charge your phone, tablet and laptop
• Pack plastic bags for rubbish

3. The Minute Before

• Recheck you have all necessary documents, bags, and electronics
• Bring your wallet & house keys
• Check all appliances and lights in the house
• Draw curtains and lock windows

Then grab Sparky and pile into the car - because you're going on a holiday!

But wait, what happens when you're on the road or at the park?
