3. Depends on where you're touring...
...I could give you tips for Orlando, but I suspect they would "make" me in New York in a minute...

4. Speak in measured tones and tell Ashcroft it's holy water

You're golden - unless he calls you on the water/wine thing. :)

9. Dress in comfy white robes and headscarves
like the desert people do. They really know how to handle heat, you know. :7

Oh, and my advice -- bring an atlas along when you fly in an airplane. They are absolutely engrossing, you can read up on your destination, and I guarantee you won't get bored in-flight! :D

10. A copy of the Koran, and just to be on the safe side...
...at least two different passports, more if you can afford it, in case one gets lost.
