Rules, Rules, Rules

Dear Boys and Girls,

Travelling is a lot like being in school.  There is so much to learn, so much to see, and so many rules to follow!  Now, rules aren't bad.  They are there to make sure we stay safe while we are at school, or while we are travelling. This summer to get ready for my trip I went to the travel clinic and talked to a doctor there about my adventure and he gave me a list of rules to follow in certain countries.  First rule, don't swim in any fresh water rivers or lakes because you might get sick.  Second rule, don't drive in rural areas at night, because you might get into a car accident.  His last and most important rule was, don't pet any dogs you see on the street!  Being a dog lover, you all know how much I love my dog Spot, this is a very hard rule for me to follow.  I understand that if I don't follow the rules I might get hurt or very sick, so just like you follow all your school rules, I will follow all my travel rules.  Can you think of any other rules I should follow while I am away?

Four more days until my first flight!

Mr. Pimentel
