Dear Association Folks:   Spring is getting busier for everyone and here at LPI we were delighted to get so much feedback from the Parents Magazine article on "Bed & Breakfast Travel with Families" that Pamela contributed to. Also, be sure to tune in June 4th when she will be on Martha Stewart's "Morning Living" show.   Travel Trend Alert: We and many others in the larger travel industry are predicting a surprisingly good summer season beginning next month. For sure, Americans may be staying close to home but polls indicate that most will still take a vacation and staying at a B&B is sure to be a popular option.   We prominently feature your Association information on LanierBB.com including a free link to your web site. Be sure to add our lovely Association logo to your web site. The image and instructions can be found on our web site or by clicking here.
