Josh said a mouthful and I agree.
The bad press incomers get is that they apparently want to be here but on the other hand some folks don't appear to respect what being here really means. If I came to your house for dinner and brought my own food would you feel insulted or at least a little bewildered about why I bothered to come at all? Maybe.
Travel light, bring an open heart and leave with delicious memories --- forget the beef.
