Herewith, DailyCandyâ€s travel commandments.

Donâ€t pay for luggage carts. Walk outside and grab one that someone left curbside.

Wear socks or be forced to walk through the metal detector barefoot.

If you pack your “personal massager” in your carry-on bag, it will most certainly get searched.

Click the image to open in full size.Remember, Europeâ€s on the metric system so calories donâ€t count.

The time spent at a cultural event should be inversely proportional to the time spent at the cafe next door.

Tip well. If youâ€re American, tip even better.

Youâ€re not a traveler if you canâ€t haggle; youâ€re a tourist. But youâ€re also not a traveler if you haggle for six hours; youâ€re a cheap bastard.

When disaster strikes — and it will — relax. Remember: Itâ€s all part of the adventure and will make for a great story later.

Click the image to open in full size.You are far more likely to get in an accident while driving a rented car. Get the insurance.

When in Rome, go topless. But when in Puerto Rico, wear a shirt. Trust us. (Itâ€s illegal.)

A language barrier is not an obstacle; itâ€s an excuse to avoid small talk and gesticulate wildly.

Learn some local geography: Sweden and Norway are not “real close.”

Learn some local slang: One countryâ€s tobacco is another countryâ€s hash.

Click the image to open in full size.You call it a romantic three-day weekend; the airlines call your Friday night departure a sitting duck. Keep a plan B at point A just in case a jauntily named storm comes between you and paradise.

If you order coffee in your hotel room, ask for it in a to-go cup. Itâ€s a much bigger serving, especially if cappuccino or latte.

Buy your own water at the nearest convenience store. Youâ€re a true sucker if you pay for the bottles in the room.

Click the image to open in full size.Step. Away. From. The minibar. Have it locked if you cannot restrain yourself.

The Eiffel Tower is great and all, but itâ€s not officially a vacation unless thereâ€s a beach and an umbrella drink.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
