Greetings Inngoers Reader,
Spring has just about sprung here; flowers and trees are beginning to bloom, and there's an expectant feeling in the air, even on the days when Winter won't quite let go.
There's rebirth in the air in post-hurricane New Orleans, too, we're glad to report. This month our Win Two Free Nights contest is sponsored by an exceptional Big Easy B&B, and we kick off Inngoers for March with good news from member innkeepers in the Crescent City.
Read on for Horse Friendly Inns, Spring Specials and Waffle Recipes, too!
Chris Clarke, editor
P.S. If you know someone who would enjoy Inngoers, please feel free to forward this issue to a friend.

It's a pleasure to report a ray of hope and celebration amid the devastation left by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, six difficult months ago. We have surveyed our New Orleans member innkeepers, and with only one or two exceptions, they're back in business and welcoming guests. Here are comments from a few of the 30+ innkeepers awaiting your visit to New Orleans:

"There are two kinds of people in the world," said the leprechaun, "The Irish, and those who wish they were Irish."
Anyone who wants to be can consider themselves Irish on St. Paddy's day, and many of our member innkeepers have posted specials to help celebrate all things Irish. For a look at more than 39 specials in 20 states, click the link below.
Sláinte! (that's Gaelic for cheers)
