HOLIDAY CHECKLIST
When going on holiday, how many times do we forget something?
We have compiled a short summary of holiday essentials to try to help you remember all the important things you may need for a stress-free trip to our apartment. We hope you find this checklist useful. We would suggest that you print this sheet out and check it before leaving your home for the airport.
HAPPY TRAVELS!!

We would also suggest that you take photocopies of all important documents such as your passport, driving licence, etc and keep them separate from the originals.
Sending postcards? Tedious? Not any more! We have all names and addresses on a spreadsheet on our PC and before we go on holiday, we print them out onto labels. This makes writing postcards a quick and easy process - allowing more wonderful relaxation time. (We use this spreadsheet for our Christmas card envelopes too!!)
