"Should we do any sightseeing on vacation?"
"What places should we visit?"
"What if we do not speak the language of the country we are in?"
"How do we know good places to eat?"
"How do we book any excursions?"

If you are asked any of these questions, here are ways that you could respond.

"It is always fun to visit historical places while on vacation."

"Try and find someone to help answer your questions at your hotel."
"Bring along a language book to look up words so you can communicate better."

"A good idea is to ask the locals where to eat. They can give you good advice on places you might not normally go."
