To help take the strain out of planning your holiday, here’s a travel checklist for what items to take when travelling to Florida and enjoying our Tuscan Ridge villa. We have left out what clothes you need to bring because this is personal choice and some people pack the bare minimum and do loads of clothes shopping in the malls, whereas some people prefer all the familiar clothes from home. Although we’d like to think perhaps you need to pack some sunnier clothes than normal!
