- Bring entertainment for the moments you just want to veg or are stuck on a plane or the like...did I see a lot of Sudoku books.
- Be busy enough to be tired. After all, you came all that way, right? See it all. Do it all. You can sleep when you get home.
- Every time you want to complain, go over your list of positive self-statements: don't sweat the small stuff; you can't control everything; nothing's perfect.
- Try new stuff. Eat food you don't usually eat. Talk to people you wouldn't normally bother with.
- Don't allow yourself to be consumed with what you've left behind. Forget the email. Don't call home daily.
- Don't worry about buying things. This includes not worrying about getting the "right" gifts for everyone. And don't perseverate about souvenirs. After all, you're not going to forget you went to Venice, right?
Have as much fun as you can. Because, when you get home, it's back to the usual, whatever that may be and however much you may enjoy it. Ciao.
