    Special food requests becoming the norm...personal experience, lengthy

    Thanks, Banana! All I have changed thus far is food choices - my exercise hasn't changed in the decade of innkeeping. Although I did start tracking all my activities with the fitbit back in the summer. I have been surprised just how many miles we innkeepers walk! And how many flights of stairs...

    Special food requests becoming the norm...personal experience, lengthy

    Banana, I thought it would take perseverance and dedication, but after three weeks, and the change in the way I felt, I no longer viewed it as an effort at all. Just a change in eating habits, not a diet, per se.

    Special food requests becoming the norm...personal experience, lengthy

    It is really important to me not to skip breakfast. And to avoid all processed foods when possible. And for breakfast, sometimes I have brown rice with black beans - I have even heated up a black bean or veggie burger from the night before's supper and found I enjoy them for breakfast; why not...

    Special food requests becoming the norm...personal experience, lengthy

    BeachHouse, thanks for asking about my sister. After her hospital stay, we brought her back here for a few weeks for pampering and recovery. She has rallied strongly! And when I bought the books for myself, I purchased copies for her, too. So, we have changed our eating habits together...albeit...

    Directories...

    A recent guest told us she came because of trip advisor. After her stay, she posted a trip advisor guest review. She emailed us to let us know. She said she had also tried several times to post her review to bedandbreakfast.com but could not get it to "take" no matter what she did. And she is...

    Fitbit weekly report of innkeeper's activities

    When fitbit.com sent my weekly fitbit activity report by email yesterday, even I was surprised. My fitbit records numbers of steps, numbers of miles, numbers of flights of stairs I walk in each day and provides weekly reports. A little "dongle" in a USB port of the computer picks up the info...

    Trave lo city same day booking via bed and breakfast dot com altho policy does not allow same day

    I have sent them an email with just this request...but since it is a weekend, I suppose we will have to wait and see. I tried to determine just how the policies at b&b.com are listed for travelocity, but never could get "in" far enough to see that; maybe if I purchased a reservation, but, no way!

    anyone else receive this request today?

    Usually these emails are not individually addressed to us. This one is. Just wondering how many other folks have received Mr. Bryant's request which is (first names removed by me): Kindly confirm the availability of either 3 double rooms or 6 single rooms for 6 people (Adult). We are coming on...

    inn of the month

    Nope, not kidding. Bidding is so fierce in that city that the very second bid for the inn of the month was $700, so the bidder must have just decided to cut to the chase and start very high. They must think it is worth it. Impossible to tell how many inns were in the bidding. And bidding is...

    inn of the month

    Is anyone else amazed by the end of the month auctions from b e d and b reak fast dot com? I just watched a neighboring city's inn of the month auction reach $1,525 before the auction was finally closed at 14 or 15 minutes after the cutoff time. WOW!

    early arrivals expected, but innkeepers themselves, and with no notice?

    So it is our busiest time of the year. All rooms booked. Several rooms to turn completely after 11 am check outs and before before several new arrivals expected sometime after our well-stated 3 pm check in time. One couple arrives just after 1 pm...and detain one of the innkeepers many of those...

    World points with Bank of America

    Thanks, all. Am following your advice...The guest wants to come immediately so we told her we would be happy to accept her personal credit card as payment since we do not have a working relationship with World Points. She has held off on booking...we will see.
