Oh boy, another voice! Welcome!
Are you indeed in Jersey? Tell us a little about your place so we can put your comments into context..
Yes I am in NJ. I was born here and lived most of my life here but have also had the privilege of living in the beautiful states of West Virginia and Virginia. I spent many summers growing up in North Carolina and spent nearly a year in Houston, TX.
I purchased my B&B in 2003 and started with 8 rooms. Over the years I took on a partner who is a very good friend and we expanded with a second building and now have 17 rooms. When we finish all of our renovations we will end up with 20 rooms. We are very close to the Southern NJ shore (that's beaches to you folks who are not from around here). In addition we own an ice cream store and a small cafe. I used to be fairly active in the PAII forums but they kind of disappeared so I was happy to learn about this site.
