to b & b or not to b & b? that is a very good question. get it? macbeth?

thanks to some wonderful relatives (thanks mary and rolf), i have gotten to stay in some very very nice hotels. this is a photo of dale chihuly’s glass ‘garden’ in the lobby of the mandarin oriental in nyc. so, yes, i am very spoiled and because of that, i don’t like to stay at standard hotels. one of my favorite stories that i tell (over and over again, according to my children) is the time daughter michelle and i were checking into a hotel and son jason comes up and says, “this is a really nice hotel!” michelle and i looked at each other and went, “meh.”

anyway….i booked a lot of b & b’s for our maine trip.
