Nice set of advice. I learned the quoted advice implicitly from tonio and chuck. It came from observing that what’s important is the experience everything else should be in the background. What does this mean? Well bring lot’s of money and have a who cares attitude about money. Some caveats would be, at least for me.

If I can\u2019t find free WiFi, I\u2019ll walk into a hotel and pay for the connection. SO MUCH LESS STRESS.
