Joyful Eid Homecoming
Fri, 14 Apr 2023For Indonesians, returning home before Eid Al Fitr has become a ritual. Starting in 2022, after being forbidden due to the epidemic for the previous years, people will be able to return to their hometowns.
What should you take into account when making Eid homecoming preparations? Here are some suggestions to make your trip back home enjoyable and healthy as well:
The next step in planning a safe and comfortable return home is to make sure you are in excellent shape. You need to check your condition by having discussion with your doctor. When it is necessary, medical check up at diagnosis laboratory is also needed. By doing this, you will know if any diseases need to be addressed immediately. Don’t forget always to bring medicines, vitamins, or even other complementary health supplements to keep your body fit.
Second, remember to make sure you have enough food and drink for everyone. It is impossible to predict the condition of the roads, especially before Eid Al Fitr. There are more cars on the road, which might cause traffic jams. People often become hungry, thirsty, and even lose focus in this situation.
There are several advantages to bringing enough food and water by yourself. You can save money and don't have to worry about having difficulties finding foods, especially when bringing small children .
Be sure to stock up on food as well if you plan to travel home in a private vehicle and traffic is expected at iftar or suhoor time. By doing this, you'll make sure you have enough stamina to last the entire day as you look for nearby eateries that serve Halal food for your next suhoor or iftar.
Checking the state of your body to ensure that you will always be in shape on the trip is just as important as evaluating the condition of the car in the next homecoming preparation . When making a lengthy trip, it's important to avoid pushing yourself to keep going when your body is exhausted. It might be better to take a nap after a 4-5 hour drive.
If you need to nap or stretch your feet out, stop your automobile for a while or halt at a rest spot. You can take this opportunity to pray as well. Being fitter and fresher will make driving safer and more comfortable. Make sure the other passengers are healthy enough to complete the trip.
