Make yourself a checklist for your setup... At high level you've got it - but the devil is in the details.
Towbar, safety chains, wire connections, braking system, vehicle prep.
Maybe the obvious - but insure the car is always in gear and/or e-brake on when connecting/disconnecting towbar - don't want to be chasing the toad from the outside.
Be sure to follow Honda's instructions for your vehicle.
On my Jeep - one of the simplest to set up to tow in my opinion - there is still a specific sequence to get transmission in Park and transfer case in Neutral (shifting in and out of Park with transfer case neutral and engine running is a 'no no'... Have to have the engine off to safely do so in my case.) There is an index card in Jeep with engage/disengage instructions - both to remind me and in case someone else needs to do it.
