It is said that travel broadens the mind. It does It can be very educational. It should also be fun It should be pleasurable. You should enjoy the experience. That doesn't mean, however, that while on a trip you will never, ever run into some trouble, some inconvenience, and/or some annoyance. Be realistic Occasionally something will happen that is less than what you wanted or expected. Things happen Sometimes they are funny. Sometimes they are only funny in retrospect. And sometimes they aren't funny at all If you don't always expect things to be perfect you will not be quite as disappointed when they turn out to be less than perfect.
