Locate a travel agent and begin reading up on destinations. Begin the process of securing passports if you don't already have them.

Arrange to get passports and visas if necessary.

Add items such as luggage, a travel iron, beach towels, and blow dryer to your registry. Check on the inoculation requirements for the country you will be visiting. Start putting together a list of things you will want to pack.

One Month Before Departure
Buy luggage, camera, and sunglasses.
If you already own a camera, make sure it's in working order and pack more film than you think you'll need. .

Make sure all of your credit cards are up-to-date.
Make a copy of your travel itinerary, along with phone numbers where you can be reached, to leave with someone at home in case of emergency.

Pack a change of clothes and any other essentials - such as a toothbrush or contact lens supplies - in your carry-on bag in case your suitcases get lost or stolen.
Reconfirm all reservations.
Pack all of your uncrushable items - T-shirts, socks, underwear, bathing suits - ahead of time.
Make a list of all the valuables you are carrying, including the numbers of your credit cards and traveler's checks, and put copies in your luggage.
If you will need foreign currency for your honeymoon, exchange at least enough money ahead of time to get you from the airport to your hotel.

Day of Departure
Make sure that you have your money and any travel documents (passports, hotel confirmations) in your carry-on baggage -- not packed in your checked luggage.
Reconfirm the flight once again right before you leave home.
Arrive at the airport early to avoid any last-minute problems -- one hour for domestic flights, two hours for international flights.
