My dad has been travelling for years across the eastern part of the country. His region is the entire area east of the Mississippi River. He's always stayed at hotels becuase of the nature of his business. He needs to be near the factories and centers he visits.
Last week, he headed to SC for his multi-annual trip on business. I forced/coereced/pleaded/convinced him to try a B&B there that was within 5 miles of the factory he was calling on. He usually just stays at the HI Express down the road from it.
It was his first time in a B&B and he LOVED it. He loved...guess. The free wifi. Free parking. Great coffee. Amazing beds. Wonderful linens. The hosts. The peace and quiet. Yep, everything that everyone touts...
He said that's the only place he'll stay when he goes there now. I was so happy. Happy for the B&B and happy for him. I keep telling my folks to just try it. It's like when my kids were little and we had something new for dinner. You had to take at least one bite before you could tell me if you liked it or not. You don't know if you like it or not if you don't try it.
Now I just have to get him to look for the B&Bs in the other states he travels to.
