yay starbucks! at home we have no electricity, no cable, no phone, no internet, no cell signal. drove out of town to find a starbucks with power on ... packed with cars to get
1. a hot drink
2. a hot SOMETHING to eat
3. an internet connection (had to wait for an outlet as the old laptop i borrowed has not battery) if only i could get a hot shower here!
anyway ... here i am
want to comment on the single traveler. i am alone not by choice. and if i want to go places, i go. if i want to stay at a lovely b&b, i go. b&b's are not just for couples ... and for romance. they are for people like me who don't always want to stay in a hotel with an elevator and hotel room 'ambiance' . (sp) i want the charm and the innkeeper innteraction (a little) and maybe a homemade cookie!
i love it when the innkeeper says to me 'we have choices for seating at breakfast. would you like to sit at a group table or by yourself?' because, sometimes i get blue ~ sorry but it's true ~ and the LAST thing i want to do is get weepy sitting with a bunch of people just trying to enjoy their breakfast. most times i'm fine, but chatty folks will ask if i'm married and if i answer honestly they ask what happened and blahblahblah and i can tear up. depends
i'm a great tipper, even though i'm solo -- honest!.
