Don't "save" your spot on the beach chair with some towels for hours on end. Don't get mad when someone reclines the seat in front of you on a plane/train/bus.... What are some other little etiquette rules you can keep in mind when traveling? Have you ever been badly treated by someone with bad manners? -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

You are going to expect people coming in at all hours, alarms at the wee hours for people leaving to catch planes, showers going at any time of night. You have to deal with it to get a cheap bed. Yep, this is exactly why I won't stay in a hostel, I don't get a minutes sleep. I prefer small bed and breakfasts, which sometimes you can get for just the same price or not too much more and you get peace and quiet!!!! -------------------- In Search Of ...........
