I'm going, so is DH. I might volunteer, depends on what I have to do..
We'll be there. But I use my innsitter on a regular basis so could not volunteer. But we actually use ours more for additional hands than when we're not there. We run wine tasting tours, so often are not there to turn the rooms or are not able to get back in time for check in. So we use ours regularly. They are absoute dolls about hopping in the flip rooms and hand out to check in guests that arrive before we get back.
They did innsit for us when we went to Ashville - the inn was not booked but I liked them having their first time to learn their way around the kitchen with no guests. Now they know where everything is. They will be innsitting in January and I hope to have one room booked to keep them occupied. But the last time they innsat they had a great time - said it was like being on vacation.

Egoo - would you be interested in sharing your positive experiences in hiring Inn-sitters? I think it sounds as if you have it figured out how to use Inn-sitters to make your job easier - that is what we are trying to teach!
I've always said that when I am on a job it feels like a work vacation - I am working, but I also am in a new area that if I have time I am able to explore. I've been in cities and states that I wouldn't normally have just traveled to on my own.
Where did you stay in Asheville? I have worked at 3 different B&B's down there - love the area!
Let me know if you would be willing to share your stories at the conference.
