I have recently discovered this forum and it has been wonderfully helpful and refreshing. Thank you to all of those who have helped answer many of my questions, even if some of them may seem silly. Sadly, some of the members on here seem rather... harsh or mean. (Surpising as we all are in the...

farmers daughter and birdwatcher... thanks so much!! that's exactly what I was looking for. Simple but truthful!! Thanks. Thanks. Thanks!!

Is anyone a member of PAII? Is it worth the cost or just another assoication to join?

Sounds like your created quite a wonderful experience and welcome for these folks. Don't you just wish everyone would react that way? Congrats!

On my website I had 'extras' listed that guests can add on to their room to make the experience even better. A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates from the local chocolate maker, a basket full of items made locally, etc.... When quests are making reservations, do you ask them if they would...
