We like to entertain, have visitors often, give big dinner parties, etc. I have this idea (based upon no facts) that a B&B owner in a northern climate would be a host maybe 6 hours a day? (Breakfast and afternoon/evening? The B&Bs I've stayed in, the owners aren't around the rest of the time). For 9 months of the year? (winter is d-e-a-d on the OR coast). My wife is Miss Social all the time, I am sociable for a few hours at a stretch. Financially, I'd just want it to pay basic living expenses and break even (I think). The town we were in, Manzanita, has one B&B with two rooms. Which suggest to me either there's an opportunity - or there isn't . . . Anyway, it's a thought for 10 years hence. I'm in harness for many years yet.
