It’s been a rather long day, but I am now settled in at the Dragon’s Nest B&B in Regina, just 4KM from the airport. I have the ‘Wisdom’ room, which shares a bathroon with the ‘Wealth’ room. I was greeted warmly by innkeeper Rick, who showed me all the amenities, including a hot tub… and I have my swimsuit! 🙂
The room is cozy and has a proper desk. Some niceties include a bathrobe and a basket of goodies. I don’t eat potato chips, so I’ll leave those for the next guest, but I’m glad for the nice Cliff bar that will make a good airplane snack tomorrow. 🙂
This older home is beautifully appointed and immaculate. From the website, I can tell that breakfast is a huge affair, but, being allergic to eggs, I said that I would be quite happy with just fruit, granola yoghurt, coffee, etc., which are served as a first course.
The room is just $75 a night. I couldn’t even find a fleabag motel for that price!
I didn’t get any sleep last night worth mention (classic pre-departure night for me!) and I was up early to clean my neighbour’s house so that I could take off not too late. So I’m glad to know that I can have a lie-in in the morning (I asked for an 8:15 breakkie) and then a relaxed trip to the airport. I like to check in and pass security super early and then chill. I’m not regretting my decision to get to Regina a day early.
I’ve only stayed at one B&B but, my, the breakfast they served! I could have eaten for three days off that food.
That’s been my experience, too! And I try to avoid carbs at breakfast except for fruit. I probably won’t need to eat again all day! 😀
I stayed at a B&B in Dumfries, Scotland, where my hosts were appalled that I didn’t want a full breakfast. I was a vegetarian at the time and didn’t eat eggs, so toast and porridge was good enough for me. I remember getting a discount on my stay. 😀
