Quite true. There's no complaint free world, but we can change our attitude to enjoy the tour more, even with the "bad" experience. When I was traveling Bangkok, got up one day at 4:30 for the floating market. But met a bad taxi driver, who took me to the wrong bus station and tried to charge 10 times the money. I arrived in the floating market 2 hours later than my original plan, and missed the busiest hours of the day. Yet afterwards, talking about the day, it's fun trying to get to the right place with a piece of paper as completely illiterate. “most of those “things that went wrong” make for the best damn stories” … Quite true.

I'm fairly easygoing/relaxed, but at work, where I do IT support, I take phone calls and have to deal with some pretty annoying people. Anyone who's done work like this will understand...when we finish with our calls we're always complaining to each other...it's an outlet and is therapeutic I think. So...this will be interesting. I'm planning on running a daily blog. Just quick little updates about how each day goes. I'll do up a post after some time with our thoughts on the experiment!

It worked great and really helped to set the tenor of the trip in a positive way. We used these bracelets with a big 80 person trip we did to Egypt a couple of years back.
