OOP DreamVacation Challenge

Error says: Bummer: NameError: name 'DreamVacation' is not defined, but this was already provided by the challenge.

Instructions: Below is a class called DreamVacation that holds a location and list of activities. Create a @classmethod called rome that will return a new DreamVacation instance with cls() with the following arguments: location = 'Rome' and activities list = ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'].

Hint: The classmethod should take cls instead of self as an argument.

Help is appreciated!

class DreamVacation:
    def __init__(self, location, activities):
        self.location = location
        self.activities = activities
    @classmethod
    def rome(cls):
        itenerary = []
        itenerary.append(DreamVacation("Rome", "visit the Colosseum", "Eat gelato"))
        return cls(itenerary)

Hi, You only need to return the cls-argument in the body of the class method (I don't know where you got the whole itenerary-function from):

    itenerary = []
    itenerary.append(DreamVacation("Rome", "visit the Colosseum", "Eat gelato"))
    return cls(itenerary)

Nonetheless, this needs to be removed.

You should then just call return of your argument, cls, and give it a string that matches the location and the activities-list parameters:

@classmethod
def rome(cls):
    return cls('Rome', ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'])

Yeah, I thought that I needed an empty list in order to place the location & activities... Wish I could say that was the first or last time that I would over-think my answer... Thanks for your help!
