Preparing
for last minute travel can be hectic and confusing as the possibility
of forgetting important things for the journey can make or mar your
trip. This may make you unhappy and detest any last minute call-to-duty
or vacation. Not to worry, Jovago.com, Africa’s Number 1 hotel booking portal shares tips on how you can adequately prepare for any last minute travel with little or no hitches.
Get help with packing
If
you are married or have anyone that is familiar with your wardrobe,
give that person a call to help you pack. Rather than feeling harried at
the thought of sorting through clothes and socks after a hard day at
work, a friend or roommate can meet this need by offering assistance
leaving you feeling refreshed for your journey.
Clear your schedule
This
last minute call may throw a spanner into the wheels of your plans.
However, you can find a way around it. If you have a personal assistant,
duly inform him to clear your schedule and cancel all unimportant
appointments. With the spare time you have, draft a list of your needs
and make your travel plans. If you can, leave early for home as well.
Book a hotel/Flight
There are now online booking services especially in Lagos where
you can expressly book a hotel or flight. You can also make payment
with your ATM card or with internet banking. However, check with your
office to ensure that there are no prior arrangements made for you. This
way you will save cost.
Be Patient
Patience
is one of the virtues required to counter last minute demands. If you
plan ahead and pack an ‘emergency bag’ for impromptu trips, it saves you
the stress of having to spend hours putting together one.
Seek exemption
If
you do not like your schedule being disrupted by an unplanned event,
you can ask to be exempted from the trip, however, this depends on your
position in the organization. If you can avoid going on the journey
with valid reasons to show for it, communicate your displeasure with
Human Resources and they may make changes for you.
