After reading so much information online about bed & breakfast businesses I was really curious about trying a few of them out. Since I am going to be visiting family and friends over the holidays I decided to book a couple of reservations. I am ready to have some fun and to check them out.

I really wanted to choose those locations that offered a holiday theme. I was surprised that many of them didn't. Decorating for Christmas is a great way to attract holiday travelers to your bed & breakfast location. For me, this was an essential part of my reasoning behind making the reservations that I did.

All of us have heard horror stories about bed & breakfasts that just didn't do justice to this particular industry. Since I don't like to take such risks or throw my money away, I decided to do some investigating. In addition to reading the online advertisements I also read what guests had to say about them.

I discovered from the information other people had left online that one in the location of my sister's house would even pick me up at the airport. This was perfect because she is so busy with her family that I didn't want to inconvenience her. I think any bed & breakfast that can offer that type of personal service will do well even if they aren't in close proximity to the modes of transportation.

The second location I choose to stay at is close to my parents. It is an older looking home but very charming. I can't wait to arrive there as I remember when this location was just a house instead of a business. Around my parent's home town there are plenty of good things to say about it so I am excited.

After spending time with my family during the day I am really going to need somewhere comfortable and quiet to rest for the night. A great breakfast is also going to get me motivated to start my day. With so many people to see and things to do in just a few short days I don't want to feel sluggish or tired.

From the information I found online, I am going to get a very friendly welcome upon my arrival. I can use some personal attention around the holidays too even though I will be surrounded by those that I love. This will ensure no one has to go out of their way to be hospitable to me 24/7 either.

There are going to be fond memories that I take home with me after the holidays. Many of them will be of visiting with my family and exchanging memorable gifts. The time I spend at the bed & breakfast locations is going to be something I will remember as well. Who knows, this could become a new holiday tradition for me!
