Well it finally happened just about at our first year anniversary of getting our license.
I was just about to leave the B&B to drop off guests at the downtown mall (we do this on wine tour day so they don't have to drive to dinner after wine tasting all day) and I get a call.
"Hi we'ere here to check in -which door do we enter"
**Me breaking out in a sweat** " I'm sorry, are you sure you have a confirmation for today at Arcady? We're booked"
Him: "Um no I didn't think to bring it"
DH who is hyper anal is starting to go into hysterical convulsions.
Me: Come on in the main door, we'll pour a glass of wine and figure this out, not to worry"
Not to worry? Finding a room in wine country on a Saturday night? Who am I kidding?
DH sits down and pours them a wine and starts pulling out info and maps for them while gently prodding. Turns out he filled out the Webervations REQUEST form, emailed it out, and left home to go get girlfriend in New York.
I received the email last Thursday, emailed him first think on Friday telling him very sorry we are disappointed to say we are booked, go to bbonline and see if there are any rooms left.
I call first B&B - full
I call the next one, picking it as the website, while beautiful can be confusing. She has ONE ROOM!!! Another suite!! (that's what I have) SAME PRICE! RIGHT IN TOWN WHERE THEY CAN PARK and not get in the car unless they want to.
Finish wine, just about to leave to drop off guests and lead them to the B&B when the owner calls to confirm they want it since they have another inquiry. YES AND YES!
If I had called just five minutes later who knows where I would have had to send these poor kids.
**whew** All's well that ends well.
