That is what I also came to realize. And also why I gave up my time share. I would rather see different places too. So true, Heather. That is what I also came to realize.

Like that dream of owning a little place of my own in the sun I've concluded that it's better for me to live without such responsibilities but for me to enjoy the hospitality of people who have chosen to do so.

I am so glad to hear from a Bed & Breakfast owner. And I am glad you realized your dream. I have, when I lived up North, spent some time in Lancaster County in PA. A wonderful area to live or visit! If anyone would like to take a look at Jan's place, The Artists Inn and Gallery, check it out at www.artistsinn.com and her blog Lancaster from the Inn Side. Thanks, Jan, for stopping by.

I had a dream, too - and have been running our B&B for 13 years. It's a bit of work, but the rewards are many - meeting people from all over the world, becoming friends with many of those, and taking your turn at living in a wonderful old home. This winter we had an unusual amount of snow and the Amish drove their one-horse open sleighs down Main Street, past the inn....it was a guest's dream come true.

PS they're not paying me to say this!
