Morning all from a glorious cool Elk, California&#33;<br /><br />Joey...... I wish we were just Host and Hostesses.  Being Innkeepers involves all the running of the Inn, from the accounting, wages, reservations system, ordering, paying all the bills, telling the kitchen staff what to make for breakfast, checking on the laundry, checking people in and out of their rooms which are spread far and wide, maintaining the property (Tony), serving breakfast (we don&#39;t have to cook it) answering the phone 10 hours a day and it never stops ringing&#33;  Taking new reservations, taking Spa reservations, checking out all the rooms once the housekeepers have cleaned them........ non-stop work&#33;&#33;  No we didn&#39;t realize it would be that busy, but we&#39;ll have a 6 week break in Oct/Nov when we go to SA and then we&#39;ll work through to the end of April and then take off for the summer to Alaska.  Or should I say that is the current plan...... we are supposed to be retired, so these plans can change on a whim if WE want them to  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
