Creator's Key Takeaways

I really do think she's going to sail on time.

We are going to be situated perfectly just off the coast there of Spain, um, with a view right over to see that beautiful eclipse when it occurs.

Make sure that you add in a really big cushion of extra time.

It's absolutely magical.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fill up glasses of water at the buffet and then refill your personal bottle at the table to mitigate germ spread.
Book a time through the ULAM app to walk through the holy door at St. Peter's Basilica to avoid long lines.
Add a significant cushion of extra time when booking private excursions in Rome due to increased traffic.
