Fun & Inspiration
 You've planned your dream vacation to Italy, your plane tickets are booked, you've got the perfect itinerary, and you're raring to go...but wasn't there something else to do?

Ah yes, pack. And not just pack: pack light. Say, if I pack light enough, can I fit everything into a carry-on bag? And wait: what do I do about my camera charger, cellphone, and other electronics in Italy? What about those specialty travel gadgets and gear? Do I need a sleep sack and a moneybelt? What about luggage? Oh, and I should definitely buy a few good guidebooks.

While we're on the subject, what about all those other annoying details: passports, visas, customs, health insurance, and trip insurance? What's more, how can I keep all my important documents safe while on the road? Shouldn't I leave copies of everything with someone back home?

Unexciting as all these things are, they're an integral part of getting ready for a trip. This section will try to make handling these details as easy and painless as possible.

Along with pointers to where to get download passport forms and shop for health and travel insurance there's a comprehensive section on precisely what you'll need to travel, so you can pack your entire world into one bag and have twice as much fun on the road as people who brought four times as much stuff.
