Windproof pocket umbrella or lightweight rain jacket.

Duct tape: Endlessly useful, just wrap a few feet around a pen or other small tube.

Fold-up tote bag: For shopping, picnics and more.

Installing a VPN before you go ensures that your devices’ data is encrypted, and that you have access to your favorite sites and services regardless of regional restrictions. VPN (Virtual Private Network): These days, the internet is an integral part of our travel experience, and more and more tourists are opting to protect their privacy (and their credit card numbers) when using open WiFi hotspots in hotels, airports, train stations and the like. One copy in your purse or wallet, and another buried in your suitcase. Seal a printout in an envelope in case your tech goes AWOL with your ID. ID & Travel docs: Make a digital photo album of your important travel documents (passport, airline tickets, travel insurance, accomodations, prescriptions, emergency contact info) and store it in your phone, on a USB key and email it to yourself as well. A small lock eliminates temptation and earns you peace of mind. Luggage locks: (TSA-approved) Unlike on an aircraft, your luggage is stowed in open overhead bins or in designated sections of the train car, and thus, potentially accessible to thieves. A wrap can do double duty (and can also serve as a makeshift pillow). Women, bring a shawl or scarf - moving from scorching heat to frigid AC is no picnic, and many top historical attractions require modest attire (no bare shoulders or knees). This is not the time to break in a new pair of shoes or attempt to go down one size of skinny jeans. Pack items you genuinely like and already wear. Just like at home, you’ll probably wear a few favourites over and over again.

With that in mind, here are a few pro tips that will save you space, weight, and aggravation: Or were you planning to leave one of the world’s greatest shopping destinations empty-handed? Besides, arriving in Italy with a lightly packed bag just means you’ll have more space for purchases and souvenirs. The veteran traveller’s rule of thumb is to lay out what you think you need prior to your trip, and then leave half of it behind and bring more money. So, whether you go with a wheeled carry-on suitcase, or a mid-size backpack and keep it as light as possible. But you’ll be hauling your own luggage, often up and down stairs or escalators with nary an elevator in sight. Among this, there will be trips into town to pick up fresh cheeses and groceries, but for the most part, it's lovely to be disconnected-to eat pasta with Sloan in our wet bathing suits, to take afternoon naps, and shower and dress for dinner to celebrate the end to each day.The best way to tour Italy is unquestionably by rail - comfortable seating, magnificent views of the countryside, and point-to-point access from one city center to another. The rest of the day, I'll likely be ignoring our friends to find Olympics coverage (half-kidding!). And then it's choose-your-own-adventure: A few adults will go to the pool with the kids, and Mahjong starts mid-morning outside on the terrace (in the afternoon, we'll play it with Aperol Spritzes at hand).

There's a chef at the house who prepares breakfast and dinner, so we wake up to a spread of Italian yogurts, fruit from the garden, pastries, eggs, and endless cups of coffee. And one day, the moms are going to venture to the outlets near Florence, where we did damage two years ago. I think we have two plans the entire time we're there-to go into town (Pienza) for dinner, where we'll eat outside in a gorgeous garden. It feels so liberating and lovely that we can offer that to our kid in this day and age. It also reminds me of my childhood, in the sense of summer days spent in and out of the pool, staying up too late, and playing tag in the dark. We're going to be almost completely recreating our trip from two years ago, with 18 people total (ten vaccinated parents, and eight kids around Sloan's age, all of whom will of course be tested before arriving!). The amazing thing about getting to this house is it feels like time stands still when we're there.
