I fear that my island hopping challenge to Islay, Colonsay before heading to Oban and on to Iona has failed. There are too many obstacles as far as Islay and Colonsay are concerned mainly because I don’t want to rent a car. Would you believe that it is only February, but the hotel within walking distance of the ferry is already booked? And besides, there doesn’t seem to be any public transportation on the island. I’m all for a challenge, but the reward has to worth it. Not to worry, I’ll find another. In fact, my challenge at the moment is to finish the 12th (yes, TWELTH) draft of “Very Grateful” before I go to Italy on the 22nd (just 11 days away). Believe me, writing is a challenge but I am highly motivated to meet it this time. |
