Tony says he is THE MOST SOUTHERN, being from down under. LOL! We hope you continue your B&B journey, since they are all unique, and report back with any special finds. We love hearing B&B stories. But remember at The Claiborne House "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." You are now included in that, lest you forget. God bless.
