ETTM: bed and breakfasts
that's the right acronym, right?
i don't really know what a bed and breakfast is. i see/hear about them all the time on tv, or in magazines as a "romantic getaway".... but from what i know of them..it's usually somewhere secluded, and you have breakfast with strangers? i'm really confused by them. what do you do there?
explain them to me.
thanks.

Re: ETTM: bed and breakfasts
They are smaller places - usually single family or slightly larger homes. I *think* they're supposed to have less than 10 rooms to be considered a B&B. I do believe you don't count as a B&B if you hire professional staff either. I think its supposed to be more of a "in the family" type of deal.
Usually only breakfast is included and they have no restaurant or other food service on site. Sometimes it's not a sit down breakfast at all - sometimes they deliver to individual rooms or it is continental breakfast style in a main room.
Not all are secluded. There are many in city limits.
I don't know ETTM.
I LOVE B&Bs. H always thought they were frou-frou old lady things until a few years ago when he won a contest with Frans Bakery...2 nights at a B&B on the Mackenzee River outside of Eugene Oregon. He's been a fan ever since.
B&Bs can be all sorts of locations, from secluded property on a river or a farm, to urban. (Seattle has several in the Greenlake area). They often have some kind of theme, but not always. They are always smaller, rarely more than 5 rooms. Some have private baths, sometimes you share a bath with other rooms. You get a delicious and sumptuous breakfast. The one we stayed at in Oregon had a dining area with small tables so you had your own table to yourself. The one we stayed at on San Juan had a family dining table that we ate at with about 5 other guests. Every one I've been at always has some kind additional amenities...usually fresh baked cookies at your arrival, board games to use, some will have DVD players/tvs (others operate on an electronic escape principle).
Think of it as staying at someone else's home that's REALLY nicely decorated, usually with a feel of luxury hotel (soft towels, robes and slippers), and delicious breakfast. It's more homey feeling than a hotel, more intimate, without staying with friends/family who want your attention.You should try one at least once

Apparently there are B&B Houseboats right here in Seattle.

ETTM: explain this to me. Right?
Do you share bathrooms with other people or do you get your own en suite bathroom? Or does it depend on the b&b?
Depends on the B&B. Usually it's in the description of the rooms they're offering.
I'll add that I think many of the places have separate bathrooms, so it really is just like a hotel, except unique and personal. I don't think I've stayed in one in the US before, but I think it's a super fun experience in other countries because you get a better feel for the culture/people.
