I agree North Bay. I understand that some people can be finicky about their homes and that it's rude to not keep your host informed, and that if you have children you should control them.... but I can't get over the amount of people insisting that a gift is mandatory.

I love having my friends and family to stay! It's a pleasure to have them. I don't expect them to leave after 3 days MAX. Or buy me anything. Or make me dinner (although it's lovely if they want to do that). Their company is gift enough for me, and if it's not we're probably not close enough to warrant a request or an invitation. If I can take them to the airport, I'm happy to. If they end up missing a flight or a train, of course they can stay another night....

I'm all for etiquette, but jeepers. Friendship is cool too.
