For those of you Brides and Groom who are going on your first "adult" trip here's some tipping (or gratuity) advice . .

Airport skycap . .  $1 to $3 per bag.  Large or bulky items (like a golf bag) deserve an extra dollar or two.
Bellhop . .  $1 to $2 per bag.  If your suitcase is on the heavy side or extra large, tip an extra $1.
Food delivery from a restaurant or food business warrants 10 to 15% of the bill before any local taxes.
Hotel housekeeper deserves $2 per night at a "budget" hotel or $3 to $5 per night at a "nice" hotel.
Shuttle bus driver . . $1 to $2 per bag.  Tip this driver if they wait for you or helps you with your luggage or helps you get to your destination quickly.
Valet parking attendant . . $1 to $3 in towns or small cities.  $3 to $5 in large cities.  If you are driving a SUV, then add another $1 or two due to its difficulty in parking.
