Travel Note
- Unfortunately ladies, Dysons do NOT work in Europe! Leave them at home to make some room in your suitcase. - Don't forget to purchase a USB adapter as the outlets in Europe are different. - Pay attention to flight bookings! Make sure you check the day you depart AND the day you actually land in Italy. - We would recommend bringing some cash on you, just in case! - Remember to check your passports to make sure they are not expired :) - Download the "Google Translate" app to help with any language barriers. - Don’t forget to notify your banks and phone carriers that you will be traveling internationally. - Do NOT rely on Apple Maps in Europe! Google Maps is much more accurate.
