The more research you do the better chance you have of having maximum fun. Nobody wants a stress filled vacation. Everybody wants a nice, comfortable trip that they can do at their own preferred pace.

Airport transfers are a real headache if not planned properly. Most people just take a Taxi and go to their destinations. What they don’t know is that if they do some research, they can save some considerable amount of money. That money can be utilized elsewhere on the trip.
