Remember your host is NOT on holiday
Pay your way, buy coffees and insist on taking everyone out for a meal at least once
Don't buy your own goodies and hide them in your room, remember you're eating the food they paid for
Don't take the last, or use the last of anything
If your host offers toast and cereals for breakfast, don't go asking for a bacon sandwich
If you have food preferences or allergies it is YOUR responsibility to inform your host BEFORE you arrive
If you detect tension, take your book to your room, walk their dog (if they have one) or the kids to the park
Allow your hosts a bit of space, remember one or both may still be going to work daily and running around after kids etc, again you're on holiday their not
Tidy up after yourself, your host ISN'T your Mother and even if she is, you've left home now
