Rules of Etiquette
Travel Group Etiquette
You will remain with the group at all times, unless specifically instructed.
You will treat everyone on the trip with respect and kindness.
You will treat everyone we encounter on the trip with respect and kindness. There will be no talking bad about anyone or anything.
There will be no consumption of alcohol. Even though you are responsible for your meals at restaurants, you are still not allowed to order alcohol or purchase it in any stores regardless if you intend to consume it on the trip or not.
You will dress appropriately and modestly at all times, including in your hotel room if you have a roommate.
Your hotel room will be left in the same orderly manner as when we checked in. All trash will be in the trash can, all messes cleaned up, and everything put back where it belongs. If you have a roommate that does not abide by this rule, it is still your responsibility to ensure your room is in a clean and orderly state.
You will help keep the bus clean. All messes created by you will be cleaned up by you.
When removing trash bags from the bus, look inside to ensure it is trash and not someone’s purchase(s).
