    Eggs eggs eggs

    Ok, the beauty of staying at a B&B is having a decadent breakfast that you would never have at home.... at least that's why I love them so much! Fortunately, I don't have allergies and eat most anything. So take heart, and may the majority of your guests not be so picky!

    Best and Worst B&B experience

    Have to admit, I'd be curious too. Haven't stayed at a B&B in Williamsburg for about 20 years, but now that DS is almost grown, I suspect DH & I will stay in B&B's more frequently as it will just be the two of us. I'm looking forward to that actually :-)

    Compensation for an Innkeeper

    Not sure about innkeepers, as there may be an exemption of some sort, but the IRS has guidelines about who can be treated as an independent contractor vs. an employee. One of the points is that if a person's hours are determined by the person they are working for, they are not an independent...

    Busing tables

    As a guest (I'm only aspiring to be in your shoes!), I don't think you should worry about a guest feeling rushed if you are clearing tables. Certainly, as you offer me and my party more coffee, milk, water, etc and engage in conversation, it would be clear that you're not rushing, but trying to...

    Very cute! Amazing what creative folks can do!

    Giving thanks, being grateful

    Miscontrued? Really? No way! LOL My favorite things to "say" on the internet are: 1. It's so easy to be misunderstood in "type" and 2. Read what I mean, not what I "type" :-)

    Best and Worst B&B experience

    Just thought I'd share...... and for those of you who have also had memorable experiences, please share :-) I don't travel more than a couple of times a year and both of the times I'm going to share were in Texas (that's as much as I'll say) and both were on business trips. The worst B&B...

    I'm a newbie here (only a few days), and a mere aspiring, but have already found this to be fun, friendly group. Hope you all have a great day and profitable weekend!

    B&B's and Pets

    So sorry about your loss. Our pets become so much a part of the family and it's heartbreaking to lose them. I hope my lab mellows in the next couple of years as he ages. He's the sweetest dog in the world, but he loves, loves, loves people and cannot understand why everyone doesn't want him...

    B&B's and Pets

    I think this is my preference. Keep my animals away from guests/guest areas and not allow pets. I do not travel with my pets, I board them. It is a better experience for us all! But, I know some folks who can't be separated from their furry friends. Great idea to know the good boarding...

    Do you feel trapped?

    I've stayed in several B&B's over the years. Often, I never see the owner, only the hired help. In one, the owner did stop in at breakfast and speak to all the guests. As a guest, it matters little to me, but I'm also not a demanding guest. I expect a nice clean room and I expect a breakfast...

    Not sure I'd want to know then either! ROFL

    B&B's and Pets

    Do you..... Have pets and allow pets? Have pets but don't allow pets? Don't have pets and allow pets? Don't have pets and don't allow pets? We have a lab (mix) - 6 years old; and a maltipoo - 7 years old -- so the likelihood we still have them as we enter a B&B (probably in 2-3 years) is high...

    Thanks for the invitation. We'd love to! (now where did I hide my passport!)

    Lunch and Dinner

    Well, I can't say for certain that he went out EVERY evening, but I know he did a lot. Sometimes friends may have brought him a meal.... I just remember talking about this. He also had a housekeeper, so that helped!

    Lunch and Dinner

    Good to hear! DH and I are both good cooks and most of the time enjoy our own meals more than eating out. I can't imagine feeling like I shouldn't cook if I want to.

    The Internet & Travel Facts

    Almost everyone has a computer these days... or an i-phone or i-pod and rely heavily on the internet. I can't imagine why anyone would operate without utilizing it!

    Thanks! I like your answer about background checks on guests (which I only added for chuckles) :-)

    Background check

    Aahhh... I can relate! I've been behind a desk for the past 28 years in the accounting field. I love staying at B&B's (though recent travel we're turned more to vacation houses/condos because our son travels with us). Future travel is more likely to include stays at B&B's when it's just DH...
