This is not a story about your religious obligations! Even my Bible-thumping parents never dragged the family to church if our vacation overlapped with Sunday morning. But there are two great reasons to attend a religious service while you travel, regardless of your personal beliefs.
Travelling alone has its perks: You get to do what you want, when you want; discover new and honest things about the world and yourself; and enjoy an uplifting, mindful travelling experience without someone else's influences. But after a while, talking to yourself and eating another meal without being able to share funny thoughts and observations about the day with an another human get... awfully lonesome.
The key to a good "sorry I'm late" apology isn't how you say it, it's what you actually apologise for.
Paying someone a compliment is a terrific way to get on someone's good side, but can also be taken the wrong way if you're not careful. This method is sure to be effective and respectful.
