Rule #1 - See the real world. Stay off the interstate highways.
Rule #2 - Eat pie. Eat where the locals eat. Avoid franchised restaurants. "Slow food" rather than fast food.
Rule #3 - See the sights that others miss. Don't visit many theme parks.
Rule #4 - Plan to enjoy the unexpected. When something catches your eye, check it out.
Rule #5 - Try new things - new places, new people, new food, new experiences.
Rule #6 - Stop and smell the roses...or whatever. No need to rush; enjoy the journey.
Rule #7 - Think local. Listen to local radio stations; read local papers; and watch local TV.
Rule #8 - Make the best of every situation, If it seems boring or ugly or wrong, look again.
Rule #9 - Be smart. Be safe. Be prepared. Exercise every day. Keep the gas tank full.
Rule #10 - Preserve the experience. Maintain a journal; keep records; and take a lot of photos.
