From what is this an escape or change of pace? Where's the authencity? Years ago when my husband and I started traveling together, we discovered a little book called "Charming Inns and Bed and Breakfasts" by Karen Brown. On a driving trip through France, every place we booked was one of her recommendations and one was more charming than the next in setting, welcome, and fellow guests. One was in a tiny hamlet in the French alps where we were the only Americans dining with 8 fellow guests on home grown rabbit at the oak table of the inn keepers; a true country French meal and an experience we still talk about. Many years and trips later, we still refer to her books and have rarely been disappointed. Where we stay becomes part of the experience and the people who choose these places tend to be well traveled with shared values and other intriguing, enriching recommendations. Best, Susan Hi Geri,
