Glad to see your new blog. I love this feeling of being there with you. <br/><br/>You had better change the title. At twenty seven steps just to the street you are going to be walking more than a mile! Hi Jay! Glad to see your new blog. I love this feeling of being there with you.

I do it now since I am 12 years old. I will be 54 soon!!!<br/>The rotary iron/mangle is a Miele from Germany. It must be something young men like to do. In our Inn it is Ryan who does a great job with the ironing. <br/>I will be checking in every day. Hello Jay,

I am so glad to see that in your very first day "in the trenches" you've already come to understand how not everything works the same way for every inn.<br/><br/>I can't think of a better choice of mentor for you than Joyce. You can be sure I'll be keeping up with your posts this week. Jay, I am one of those innkeepers who doesn’t take whole house reservations during my busy season.

We are running 70% here at the Inn and elbows are flying. I too am a big advocate for lists. Lists make it real and show progress. I happen to think Joyce is one of the sweetest people I have met in the industry. Pay close attention, what a font of information she is. Be tired , Have fun, and be proud of this wonderful world of Innkeeping. I'll be checking in each day. Fondly Frank Salvo Hey Jay, Try to have fun with it.

Looks like the mangle (that's the ironing machine) worked pretty well. In fact, I've mostly seen old ones, but that looks spanking new! I always say that there's nothing like the right tool for the job, whatever it is. Keep up the great work. See you in Anaheim! Peter Jay, I’ll enjoy living your days vicariously.

Welcome to innkeeping. Love reading about it. And I've traversed those steps several times at the CN. I'd be in good shape if I were doing it now. -- Jo Ann Hi Jay, your last sentence says it all.
