Several years ago I travelled to the British Isles with an orchestra and we were told not to be "ugly" Americans. Sadly a few of the so called grownups were awful...they were rude to our hosts, loud, obnoxious, just exactly what one thinks of when they hear that term. That was seven years ago and I must admit in certain parts of England there appeared to be some strange undercurrent of bad feelings.
My nephew is in the Navy in Spain. He NEVER wears his uniform because the anti-American sentiment is running so high in Spain right now.
I guess the best suggestion for people to travel is to be careful, have fun, but don't bring attention to yourself.
