— Ditch the cellphone. Someone has invited you into their home and likely wants your attention and time. Nothing is ruder than a guest who is constantly checking emails or making private phone calls.
— Participate! You are there to enjoy your host’s company and that of their family. If an invitation is extended to you for an outing, attend, even if the selected activity might not be your favorite pastime.
— Send a thank-you note. Regardless of the length of your stay, be sure to always send a thank-you note after your visit. This thoughtful gesture will always be appreciated.
