  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day Eight

    It was a nice – mostly sunny day today with a high of 50 degrees. I got to Balmoral Castle at 12:00 day and went to the restaurant for lunch on the castle grounds. I again tried the venison burger. Although I believe that the meat did not have anything mixed into it like it…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day Seven

    It rained all day with the high of 44 degrees. Since I woke up too early this morning, I took a morning nap and read and wrote this afternoon. I am reading a book that I found here in the room on The Scots A Genetic Journey that I have found to be interesting. After…

  • Property Owners Voting

    The framers only wanted property owners voting in elections, since they felt that property owners would take responsible for the country. As we look at the USA today, it becomes clear that property owners, like farmers, do take an interest for what is best for the county. As for those that do not have property,…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day Six

    The King of England is here in Scotland, an I saw his flag flying over Balmoral Castle, today. He attended church at Crathie. My guide for today, stated that I probably could have seen him, if I went in the church while he was there, but I guess that I was more interested in see…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day Five

    Today, I got over eight miles of walking/hiking in, and boy am I tired. WOW. My thighs are taking the biggest muscular beating, and my stomach is also hurting, but my waist is not shrinking. Tomorrow, I tour guide is going to pick me up at 9:00. We had discussed a half day or a…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day 4

    I am really trying to wear myself out, since I walked/hiked 7.22 miles or 16,200 steps today. I got back around 2:00 and was in the hot tub for a half an hour just after 4:00. The hot tub does help with my sore muscles, but they could use a massage. Massages here cost about…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day 3.

    I did sleep good last night, like eight hours. Probably the best that I have slept for months. Although my body did seem to be rested, I still felt rested. I do not feel like I had jet lag, since I was to tired that the time did not make a difference. Since it was…

  • Journal Entry – Day 2

    It was 12:00 Scotland time when I got to the resort, and I am really tired. Of course, I did not sleep on the plane last night. I was up for about 23 hours when I got to the resort, and now I am waiting until my suite is open. I am begging to wonder…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day One

    Currently, I am at ORD (Orchard Airport). For those that are not aware of O’Hare”s indemnification, O’Hare was an Orchard before it was an airport. It is like Two Star General Jimmy Stuart getting his pilot’s license miles out of Los Angeles at LAX. Just a little history. I got up at 6:00 this morning,…

  • Journal Entry – Scotland Day Minus One

    For many weeks, I have been planing a trip to Scotland using my Hilton points. So, there is no cost for the resort. Since I am a member of Delta Airlines, I am receiving good benefits for the flight. Tomorrow, at 9:00, I leave for Whitewater. After a few negative issues today that will cost…
