Italy Travel Tours

Posts Tagged ‘prescription eyeglasses’

Your Italy travel checklist is a very important item that should not be discounted because it is inconvenient. It should be remembered that you are traveling to a foreign country where the laws are different, and what is readily available is not the same as in America.

Your passport will not be hard to remember but there are other items that, if forgotten, could mean more than discomfort during your trip. Any medication should be on the top of your checklist. Just in case something happens, you should take twice the amount needed and have them in two separate bags. This way you will be assured to have a readily available supply.

Another personal item that should be thought of is if you wear prescription eyeglasses. It would be a shame to be somewhere new and not be able to see it clearly. A spare pair of glasses is recommended.

Personal hygiene products vary from country to country. It would be uncomfortable to have a rash while visiting Italy. To help avoid this, you should bring your own soap, shampoo, and toothpaste. Shaving products and feminine hygiene products are also advisable to bring.

Along with your passport, your driver’s license should be readily available. Most countries, including Italy, allow visitors to drive as long as they have a valid license from their home country.

The documentation of your insurance might be needed. This should be included in your belongings that travel with you. This should include both health and travel insurance.

If you want to take any electronic equipment or electrical items, keep in mind that Italy uses 220 volts. Most power converters for cell phones and computers are capable of being used there, but hair dryers and curling irons will not.

The last thing on your Italy travel checklist should be how you are leaving your home. The lights should be set on timers and have a neighbor pick up the mail and newspapers. If your home looks vacant, the chances for an intrusion are increased.

A simple check of your list will make your vacation to Italy a most pleasant memory.  Have fun!
