    Twitter for Dummies?

    It is fun, we just visited Tim yesterday. His Pub is really nice, even it's small but only for guests and they have beer tastings every saturday for guests.

    When being an AVERAGE innkeeper feels pretty good.

    I hear you… we are in the process right now… The P&S is with our attorney at the moment. When we get the green light we sign.

    Latte machine suggestions anyone?

    I think you have to make up your mind how much such an amenity would be worth for you. Do your guests all enjoy good Coffee? And all the other Italian style coffee creations like Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, espresso or espresso macchiato or even a Mischio. If so I would get a Coffee Automat...

    Anyone know the legalities of hiring non residents?

    See that’s what I mean you have the possibility to do this in the US. I guess a lot of Americans forget that the US are not only a country but also a continent (ok you have to share it with Canada, but they have the same language). If I would do it in Europe, I have the language problem for sure...

    Anyone know the legalities of hiring non residents?

    I've lived in several different areas here in the US as my goals changed, and loved all the spots that I've been. See that’s what I mean you have the possibility to do this in the US. I guess a lot of Americans forget that the US are not only a country but also a continent (ok you have to share...

    Anyone know the legalities of hiring non residents?

    Hah... my parents asked the same. Ok let’s see (this could be getting a little long) First it is a dream of my wife and me to live in the US. We think there are more opportunities for both of us. MY wife got her bachelor in psychology in Canada and is nearly finished her Master in industrial...

    Anyone know the legalities of hiring non residents?

    Honestly it will be a difficult process. We just figured out how we can legally stay in the US when we purchased our B&B and this was a challenge on it's own as well as difficult and expensive. There are temporary work visas available (without a green card). But you have to figure out if all the...

    When is your birthday?

    Hah… good question… for sure not. My plan where totally different. I was focused on my career had a 6 to 7 day week with 10 to 14 hours. Was this the trigger? I don’t know. To make the long story short, I don’t wanted to work for other people anymore. The dream of my wife and me was always to...

    When is your birthday?

    Sure, no problem mid November last year, I finished my Hodgkin’s Lymphoma treatment after chemo- as well as radiation therapy. It was quite a shock as we got the diagnosis… anyway it seems I conquered it but you can’t be 100% sure. The good point is I’m still young (this year mid thirty). Just...

    Vacation Dilemma - Need Advice

    First of all I wish you a nice and relaxing cruise. Depending on which cruise line you are, there could be cell phone connection but you will be on auto roaming. I know European cruise lines where cell phone connection is not a problem at all. But you pay roaming prices. I think you got some...

    Don't rain on my parade, but

    Yes me… I’m just doing it the other way around. I’m from Germany and looking for a property in the US. I took my time and researched and acknowledged myself. I can tall you it is difficult. You are not familiar with the rules and regulations and have to inform yourself about all the stuff...

    I'm going to close in November, if everything is working out!

    Actually the friend of my DW is living in east PA but I have a school mate living now near Pittsburgh. When I visit her I let you know and will drop by for a visit. At the moment we are waiting for the P&S from the seller to let it check by our attorney. I keep you all updated.

    How honest have you been able to stay as an innkeeper

    raw milk is the best. Every time I drink it I have a flash back in my childhood as my grandmother went with my to a farmer just 4 houses away from us and we got fresh milk… I loved it. Honestly I can’t understand how some people can drink milk with 1% or even 0% fat. I just call it colored...

    How best to word "Book It"?

    I like "BOOK HERE" as JOE B. suggested. It’s not too pushy but still has the “call to action” inside. Here in the company I’m working for, we do a lot of direct mailings and on each envelop are at least two “interferer” one who says “open here” or “open now” and one who refers to an offer inside...

    Do you have a motto? Do you have a logo?

    It’s exactly where I’m working on at the moment (besides all the other stuff). We decided to keep the Name of the B&B but will change the sub headline/motto. A new logo has to be developed as well as a color scheme and the fonts for the Logo/motto and the normal fonts for online and offline...

    If a B&B changes owner, how big is the effect of...

    I’m sure they are legal (but of course I double check). They have 8 rooms and the fire system is in place. E.g. smoke detectors in each room. Fire doors as well as sprinklers in common area where a fire place is located. This property was build to be an 8 room B&B right from the start.
