Be Clear On How Long You Plan To StayWell before your arrival, it's up to you to discuss with your host how long you intend to stay. Even if you're invited for an entire week, it's important to remember the typically used phrase originated by Ben Franklin - "guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days." You may be able to sense that it's time to go simply by reading the body language of your host. Above all, never, ever overstay your welcome. If you're respectful of your host's time and hospitality, chances are you'll be invited back.
