Travel Tips

My travel agent blessed me with some neat tips for making my journeying a little less stressful. How did she guess?? Perhaps you might find them humorous or even useful sometime!

TEN COMMANDEMTNS FOR TRAVELLERS

1. You must not expect to find things as you have them at home, for you have left your home to find them different.

2. You shall not take anything too seriously – for a carefree mind is the beginning of a vacation.

3. You must not let the other tourist get on your nerves, for you have paid good money to have a good time.

4. Remember your passport, so that you know where it is at all times, for a person without a passport is a person without a country.

5. Blessed is the person who can make change in any language, for l he shall not be cheated.

6. Blessed in the person who can say “Than you” in any language, for it will be more valuable than any tips.

7. You shall not worry, for he who worries has no pleasures, and few things are ever fatal.

8. When in Rome, you shall do somewhat as the Romans do; if in difficulty, you should use your Canadian common sense and friendliness.

9. You must not judge the people of the country by one person with whom you have trouble.

10. Remember, you are a guest in every land; yes, he who treats his host with respect shall be treated as a n honoured guest.

True, every one of these! However, I think #11 should read "bring TimHortons for the aroma of home" ;)

Namaste, Kara
