Learn about any unusual laws and customs that may affect your destination plans. You may have to face consequences for doing things that are viewed as offensive or illegal, despite you thinking otherwise. When traveling, you should respect local customs and people.
Unless you plan on building boats on a regular basis, you can follow in the footsteps of those who've gone before you and create a small workshop. A garage or shed, a tent, some PVC pipe with tarps draped over it. all are standards when it comes to boat work areas. All you really need is enough space for the finished boat, plus a few feet around the perimeter for walking, working and moving about.
Speed - You can take the courses at your own pace. Most classes give you a specific amount of time to learn the information, usually anywhere from two weeks to a month. This lets you pace yourself. You're not on as strict of a schedule as you would be in a traditional classroom. You don't have to try and learn all the information in two days - you can take it slow and make sure you're able to understand the information.
Try to get your name/email address on the school's website. It would be helpful to get a link from the school's website to your webpage or email. This will probably only happen after you have built up a reputation with parents and teachers at the school. Be patient but diligent.
You can take labels to Print out addresses on your computer. We would suggest getting the clear labels as it just looks better. The most prominent label maker is Avery. Their website offers free templates to Print out your labels, so you may want to check that out before struggling with a software program.
Choose a nice bottle of champagne. The bottle can be chilled beforehand and wrapped elegantly in a dinner napkin when placed in the basket. Include a selection of fruits that are in season and cheeses as well. The fare should be light-something that they can snack on throughout the evening at their leisure. A romantic picnic wouldn't be complete without chocolate covered strawberries. All items should be kept cold and the basket assembled and delivered to the waiting limousine near the end of the wedding reception to avoid the food getting too warm before the presentation. Include a card wishing them a wonderful evening.
A couple of weeks later, a rumpled-looking gentleman entered the studio and asked if I had any pictures of an Austrian castle for sale. I was puzzled as to how he knew that I owned such a picture since I had not shown it to anyone and certainly not to this person. I invited him to sit down so I could hear the rest of the story. He told me that he had just come from the hospital where his Dad was dying. In a moment of clarity, his father asked his son to bring him a picture of the Austrian Castle of King Ludwig, his memory of the famous castle rose in the mists of the Austrian mountains not far from where he grew up. Not wanting to refuse his father's last wish, he searched the local galleries with no success. He said that he would pay any amount to please his father.
