Another thought: remember to unplug the phone in the guest room if you still have landlines! And a good reading light for the bedside is essential. Love your post on this, Laura!

I always leave earplugs (clean) in case visitors aren’t used to honking yellow cabs. They might be appreciated by those staying near little people not of their own making, too… On my to do list: I’d like to place a book or a collection of short stories on the nightstand with a personalized bookmark along the lines of “Laura, I hope you sleep well. Until you do, I thought you might like to read this.” One must is a decent size and //comfortable// guest bed — unless you don’t want a repeat visit. Guests will forget your bought or burnt breakfast muffins but they won’t ever forget feeling shattered all weekend — or going home with sciatica. My mother’s advice: spend a night in your own guest room.
