Group Travel
By Charles Vaughan
Traveling with a group is
a wonderful way to see other
parts of our world. However,
there are several things which
can make group travel an exci
ting experience or a major ca
tastrophe. Some of these com
ponents are proper etiquette,
guided tours, and your travel
ing partners.
Proper etiquette includes
knowing how to order a meal in
a fine restaurant. An example
of improper etiquette would be
to order a bowl of soup, taste
it, decide it is not wanted,
and have it replaced with
something else. To add to
this "faux pas" it seems very
unappreciative especially if
someone else is paying for the

hosting a two-day tech work

as construction, painting,

stagehands take a backseat to
the actors in a production,
but according to Director John
Brock, everyone who puts time
and effort into making a play
a success should receive the
same recognition as the people
onstage. This concept allows

meal. Also tipping is an ex
tremely important aspect of
proper etiquette. If a person
does not leave the appropriate
tip, the waiter is insulted.
This is also true in cases of
tipping bellhops.
Guided tours provide a
very general view of the city
being visited. These tours
can be very educational and
are an excellent means for
first time visitors to become
familiar with a new town.
However, for people who have
been to a city multiple times,
guided tours become too ele
mentary because these people
already have a basic knowledge
of the city. Exploration of
the town by simply walking
throughout the various sec-
i-ions becomes the best way to
better familiarize oneself
with the city and its culture.
Traveling companions can
make or break a trip for any
one. Traveling in large groups
makes it hard for the indivi
dual to see what interests him
or her. If in a large group,
it would be better to break
into several smaller groups
allowing more flexibility to
the trip.
The tips listed above are
to help travelers, whether ex
perienced or not, to enjoy and
to get the most out of a cul
tural experience. Remember,
there are many facades of any
given culture and they all
need to be experienced. Bon
voyage!
