Dear Inngoers,
Welcome
to 2007! We hope the New Year is treating you well. And though
we’re still reminiscing about the holidays and all the fun
we had New Year’s Eve, it’s never too early to start
thinking about next month and the big “V” day. That’s
right; Valentine’s Day is almost here. Can you believe it?
Weren’t we just caroling and opening presents a few weeks
ago? Even springtime will be moseying along soon enough, which
should certainly come as a welcome respite for those of us dealing
with the wintry weather.
So as we enjoy
the present chilly days of the New Year, BBOnline.com is making
sure to get you ready for spring; this month we’re spotlighting
romantic, B&B destinations ideal for that Valentine’s
Day getaway, as well as some wonderful suggestions for your springtime
travels.
And
there are pancakes. Need we say more? Check out some pretty terrific
pancake recipes straight from the Innkeepers’ kitchens.
It’s all here this month - pancakes, springtime fun, Valentine's
Day and romantic getaways. Who could ask for anything more? Happy
traveling and see you next month!
Sincerely,
The
Team at BBonline.com
