Innkeeper InnSight, Volume 2

Let’s Check-In, shall we?

I Must Confess…

I stand presently with the shoe planted firmly on the other foot as this upcoming week approaches. In just a few days I will return to my hometown in New England after a lengthy absence and morph from day-to-day hospitality insider to a bonafide traveler and guest. The bulk of my destinations throughout each year are related to business of coarse, which means I have little time to hang around the hotel, catch a local show or relish the delights of room service - all of which I am now determined to fit on the agenda.

The reason for this journey is that my attendance is required for a celebration of my becoming an uncle for the first time. Actually an uncle-in-law and moreover the occasion is technically for the mother-to-be…but who wants to split hairs anyway?

I look forward to visiting with friends and family as well as discovering the changes to the places I knew so well in a time that seems long past. My packing has not yet begun and will likely wait until the night before I depart, though the plans are well laid out for a visit to my favorite little hometown bookstore, lunch at the Italian restaurant around the corner from my childhood home and long scenic drives around the beautiful lakes and orchards that dot the land. I have always been the exploring type and my job has allowed for relocations further and further away from where I started, time and time again. Despite this, or perhaps because of it - it’s going to be nice to voyage back.
