The Travel Itinerary - an example of why you should have a thorough one
When I was in Rome I met a couple on a one week vacation. Their main reason for traveling to Rome was to see the Pope. Unfortunately they missed seeing him by mere minutes. I later found out that they had failed to research the details about when and where to go. As a result the highlight of their vacation had failed to materialize. They had no travel plan.
