Nothing can improve your next trip more than the lessons learned from the previous one. Here’s what I learned from my last trip.
Cast a critical eye over your last holiday and your next one will be better stillThe trip is over, and you’re probably reliving all the good times. That great little restaurant where mamma did the cooking, the festival you happened upon where the locals dressed as goats in memory of an ancient pagan ritual, all the things that went right. But what went wrong? Chances are it wasn’t all plain sailing and that’s why you need the post-trip post-mortem.
In September my wife and I flew premium economy to Italy with China Eastern because it was a couple of thousand dollars cheaper than the same class aboard other airlines. The bulkhead seats near the starboard windows were okay on the way over but we changed our homecoming flights and lost our original seat booking. On the return leg from Shanghai we were seated in different rows in the mid-section, which has four seats across.
In October we flew from Brindisi in southern Italy to Marrakech with a connecting flight in Rome. Our incoming flight ITA from Brindisi was late arriving in Rome and we missed the Marrakesh flight and had to spend the night at the hotel from hell courtesy of ITA Airways instead of in a posh resort outside Marrakesh. The next day ITA booked us on a flight to Paris with an Air France flight to Marrakesh. We arrived a day late but my wife’s luggage stayed in Rome – for almost three weeks.

Finding where I parked my hire car, or even getting back to a great looking restaurant that I passed earlier in the day can be tricky butis a brilliant app that tags the location of whatever you want to pinpoint and steers you back to it.
