If you’ve ever flown with the budget carrier, you know that Spirit Airlines’ baggage limit for a personal item is uniquely small.

An early morning dip at Saturnia We’re kicking off the weekend at the Saturnia hot springs. The Maremma is located deep in Southern Tuscany and these hot springs are about two hours from Rome. They’re the area’s most popular tourist attraction and it always pays to get in early, unless you enjoy elbowing German tourists in the face for space. The pools are naturally carved travertine basins fed by a small waterfall known colloquially as the Cascate del Mulino.
