That's a wise quote from Helmuth von Moltke the Elder.
So my long-in-development guesthouse is now open. In fact, there's a guest down there right now, no doubt putting all the freebies into his luggage and using a different glass for each sip of wine.
So my concept was that all reservations would be made online. I don't even answer the guesthouse phone. They all go to voicemail. So far 100% of my contacts with potential guests have been on the phone.
So my concept was a two night minimum. So far I've caved in on that twice. No doubt a third cave in will be before the cock crows tomorrow morning (Someone may need to explain that reference to Eric A. Blair ). Tonight's guest is a one-nighter, and so is tomorrow night's!
But the credit cards are good, and that's what counts in the end.
