How do you behave when you go into another person’s home? We’ve got tips for you inside the Motivational Minute.
Be Clear About How Long You Will Stay
Make sure you lock down your visiting dates far in advance with your hosts . . . at their invitation. Don’t ever be vague or hope to stretch out your visit after you arrive. If your BFF says she’ll be busy after Labor Day, book your return ticket to leave a full day before so she has some time to herself.
No Surprises, Please
Never show up unannounced — or, even worse, with a puppy, child, significant other or friend (even if it’s a mutual friend), unless you’ve cleared it with your host beforehand. You may call it spontaneous and fun . . . your cousin and her husband may call it inconvenient.

Choose The Perfect Gift
Proper guest etiquette requires a gift. But you don’t want your hosts to feel pressured to haul out your pick once a year for your benefit. Try a delicious delicacy from your hometown, a flowering plant or the kind of gift a vacation house can never have too much of: beach towels, mugs that keep their drinks frosty, a book (like one of the ones we are giving away!) or a tote bag.
