Motel, or Bed and Breakfast, and earning

tourist accommodation.
Although
we recently came across the following
definition on the website for
The Beall
Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Alton
Illinois, which we feel is a better
explanation....
Definition

work and a little bit of magic,
ii)

week so they don't have to work a 9 to 5
