Holiday Prep Essentials
As we geared up for our trip to Rome and Sorrento, we were looking for a checklist to make sure we didn't forget anything, If you're seeking a stress-free holiday prep experience for your next destination consider these essential tips:
- Holiday Documentation: Ensure you have all necessary documents in order – passport (valid), travel insurance, tickets, flight and hotel details, transfer arrangements, airport transportation, and excursion tickets.
