As temperatures drop, and leaves begin to turn, most of us are thinking of woolens and storm windows. But for some fortunate folks, time to pack up and hit the road for sunnier climes. Across the arctic latitudes of North America, the anniversary snowbird clearing is set to begin. Dictionaries ascertain snowbird as one who moves from a algid abode to a balmy one in the winter. Snowbird Routes make it easy for travelers to locate bed and breakfasts and small inns close by every major North-South Interstate highway. “Southbound travelers can plan their route, explore nearby B and BS and communicate with innkeepers, all from a single starting point,” says Fought.

The system is simple to use. Starting from the Bed and Breakfast Inns ONLINE home page, click “Locate a B and B,” and then the Snowbird Routes link, which lists 20 Interstate highways. Click your route, and find a convenient stopover in the list on the left side of the page. Click “Draw a Map,” and your map appears on the right, showing all the inns within a radius of 25 miles of the town you chose. Beneath the map are links to photos, rates, directions and innkeeper contact information, and often a form for reserving a room online.
