B&B as Money Saving Travel Alternative

For depression-era vacationers, a bed and breakfast is just the thing

After this week’s stock market plunge, some people think they’ll never be able to retire — much less afford another vacation. Maybe not... When the going gets tough, the tough start having second thoughts. Some people with long-scheduled travel plans are contemplating whether or not they should cancel their trips. Others are seeking alternative ways to save money... Many who make the pilgrimage find B&Bs romantic, an excellent way to meet other people in addition to profiting from their hosts’ knowledge of the area. The majority return from their mini-adventures feeling vacationed, have had a look into someone else’s life style and are invariably financially ahead unless their alternative is staying in a Motel 6, which are rarely long on charm.
