Holidays in the snow or mountain air

My wife and I met in France, whilst on a snow holiday. I say snow because I was snowboarding and she was skiing. Who would have thought, at a time when these two snow terrain customers used to exchange growls on the piste, that we'd actually fall in love.

Time has passed and we've not been on a snow holiday in all the years we've been together since. But with two children nearing the age they could manage a few days in the snow, we're booked in again. This year we're off to Pisteside and looking forward to it.

If you visit, please leave a comment here to let me know what you thought.

Holidays are a lot of work

I'm fortunate; my wife arranges our holidays. I just go along and enjoy the sunshine or snow.

But there's a lot of work that has to be done before hand, and there can be quite a bit of work that has to be done afterwards. Most significantly for me these days is the filtering of photos and writing reviews.

I can't help but feel that the holiday has led to more work for me than if I'd just stayed at home. Though obviously this is self inflicted - nobody is forcing me to write a review or work through all the photos. Although my wife will no doubt be wanting some photos to print and frame soon.
