Well lads I thought I’d post a thread to see where everyone has been/is going on holiday?
I’ll start off, back in March we went out to Westendorf, Austria.
As some of you will know I am a snowboarder, been doing it a long time but up till this year have only been abroad once as my wife doesn’t ski/snowboard so it wouldn’t really have been fair.
This year it was time to change her car, to my amazement she decided she didn’t want to change the car, she really likes it and after a quick check I realised it’s only done 30k.
So I suggested we spend the money on a nice trip, a holiday. Some suggestions were to go watch a MotoGP race, we particularly liked the idea of COTA, Austin, TX but a week is simply not enough to take in Austin and the race.
I left it to Louise to have a think and let me know if there was anything she really wanted to see/do. After about a week she came to me and said ‘I think I’d like to learn to ski’ so I started checking out to see where we could go and she could get ski lessons and I could go ride my board, eventually settling on Westendorf. It was awesome, I said before we went out it didn’t matter if she didn’t take to skiing long term as long as she enjoyed the week away.
It went better than I could ever have imagined, Lou loved skiing, her instructor was brilliant and she really made some good progress. So much so that we have already booked to go out to Zell Am See, Austria next February with 6 of our friends. Can’t wait it will be brilliant, Lou will be at ski Schule most of the week but we will be altogether in the evenings and will meeet some lunchtimes. For the more advanced in the group the Kitzstienhorn at Kaprun has some of the best off piste free ride terrain in Austria and I personally can’t wait.
So what have you guys been up to, or what have you planned?
