TEN COMMANDMENTS OF TRAVEL

1. Thou shalt not expect to find all things precisely as they were at home, for thou hast left home to find things different.

2. Thou shalt not take anything too seriously for a carefree mind is the cornerstone of a good vacation.

3. Thou shalt not let other tour members get on thy nerves, for thou art paying good money to enjoy thyself.

4. Thou shalt not worry, for he that worrieth hath little joy.

5. Thou shalt not judge all people of a country by one person with whom thou hast had a problem.

6. Blessed are they who can wait and smile for they shall enjoy themselves.

7. Thou shalt do only somewhat as the natives do.

8. Thou shalt carry thy American Passport with thee at all times in a safe place, nor shall ye pack it in thy suitcase, for it is said that a woman without a Passport is a woman without a country.

9. Thou canst be welcome in every land. Treat thy hosts with respect and thou shalt be an honored guest.

10. Bless thy tour guide for she worketh hard in thy behalf and she deserveth.
