Greetings Inngoers Reader, 
Calling All QuotesDo you have a bed &
breakfast story to tell? We'd like to hear it -- we might even want to quote you
in a future edition of Inngoers, or in an article. We're particulary interested
in reader tales of first B & B experiences, of romantic getaways or
especially memorable places you've stayed. Please email your comments to chris@bbonline.com.
And now, on with the show . . .

| Heading
South For The Winter? |
 |
 Are you planning to head south this winter? Lots of lucky
folks hit the road for the Sun Belt when the frost is on the pumpkin. If you're traveling south on an Interstate highway, plan your trip with our custom mapping service. It's simple:
- From the BBOnline home page, click Locate A B & B
- Click on Click here for
Snowbird Routes
- Choose an Interstate Route -- I-95 from Maine to
Florida, for example
- In the left column, scroll to a stopping place, say, Savannah, GA
- Click the button labelled 'Draw a GA Map,' to see a map showing some 39
area Bed & Breakfasts, with a table of links to all
- Click on the numbered icon beside any inn to zoom to a street map
pinpointing the location. Nothing to it!
Make your winter escape more memorable by stopping in a Bed &
Breakfast along the way, and remember to
