I'd always wanted to go and got tired of trying to arrange to travel with friends. Staying at a B&B gave me people to talk to over breakfast (something I usually don't like when traveling, but when traveling abroad alone, it was so nice) and I met a lot of cool Scots that way--and came to find out that one of the B&Bs I stayed at in Drumlemble was built by an ancestor of mine 200 years ago! <br /><br />I love how trying to save a buck gave me one of the coolest historical experiences of my life (it was several miles out of the town I was visiting, but it was only 15 pounds a night, half the going rate for a hotel!).<br /><br />Never stayed in a Stateside B&B, but because of that experience I'm willing to try it out sometime. :) Sounds like you had a fabulous time. >I was a bit suspicious of B&Bs as well until several years ago, when traveling in Scotland by myself.

I love how trying to save a buck gave me one of the coolest historical experiences of my life (it was several miles out of the town I was visiting, but it was only 15 pounds a night, half the going rate for a hotel!).

Never stayed in a Stateside B&B, but because of that experience I'm willing to try it out sometime. :) Sounds like you had a fabulous time.

Granted, MC is now a classic, but it's hardly one-upmanship if he has waited until the novel not only won the Booker, the Booker of Bookers 25, and the Booker of Bookers AGAIN to read it, now is it?! >Take comfort.

The news for new children's writers can be discouraging and may stop some from attaining their goals, but for others like myself, it is the process and the learning... that hope for reaching that goal... and simply the shear pleasure of writing that will keep me writing and submitting. Thanks for the insight. >I have always wanted to go to the Cape, sounds fabulous.
