Did your Mother ever teach you how to be a good houseguest?  It is not that hard, you just have to remember Babs Rules of 3! 

🐟As the old saying goes….houseguests, like fish, begin to smell after 3 days.  Of course it depends where and with whom you are staying.  But the bottom line is…don’t overstay your welcome.  I’m staying with my daughter so I think I’ll stay a little longer:) 

🏚Get out of the house a bit.  When on vacation, I like to plan no more than 3 activities a day. 
 Don’t jam pack your schedule with 100 things to do everyday.  Stick to 3 - so you don’t feel overbooked.  And of course, invite your host along.  Maybe go to a local market, see a famous site and have a great dinner. 

🧳And when you leave,  remember to do these three things when you are leaving. 
#1  Strip your bed
#2  Take out your trash 
#3  Write a (most preferably handwritten) note expressing your gratitude.  Leave the note behind so you won’t forget to send it when you get home #vacation #ruleofthree #houseguest 

XO Babs
