Day 1477: All booked!

Scotland is all booked!  Finding a decent hotel for seven people in four rooms was absolutely maddening!  Mary and I were on the phone looking at one hotel and she had a price that was half of what was on my screen on the same site.  What a ripoff!  She booked for everyone and we saved 50%!  We also found a site advertising jeep tours so we're going to investigate them for a day tour.

I also spent many hours reading three different websites for writer's guidelines.  Backpacker magazine does not publish books but it does sponsor some that have a third party publisher. They also take queries for articles which I may investigate later.  The NOLS website was also nebulous regarding publishing.  I'll send them a query also.  Then, I read the whole WEA website.  There I found out about certifications and a national seminar. Nothing on publishing books.  No problem, I've just begun. My eyes are tired now from all the close work.

It was super cold today so we stayed inside all day.  Sinclairville got about eighteen inches of snow, but we only got a couple.  I am tired of being cooped up and miss our long walks.
