Skiing Dates Dilemma 2010/

Yo, so the holidays are upon us, well teachers at least. Loving it. I have had 2 weeks off already and still another 5 to go. I have been playing golf at least once a week, mainly with a good friend Andre and we are neck and neck (both in games and shots) so I will start a tally going for this. The prize is going to be a lottery ticket for the winner eventually. So we could be playing for millions! I am also in the process of planning my inaugral motorbike tour. I will be getting the ferry from Poole to St. Malo, France on 10th August and driving down the coast of france to Bordeaux for a day, then off to Bayonne in the South West for a week. Afetr that I will head up to Mimizan and try to camp for 3 days before coming down south into the Hossegor area for another 2 nights. After that it is into Spain for 3 days at Noja, then back to Biarritz for 2 days before heading back to England. All in all I expect to cover about 2000 miles and should know more about the art of touring on a motorbike. My panniers are being built at the moment and I will then start all the faffing with how and where to pack everything!

On a skiing note, I am still negotiating to see how we can get a work around on the dates issue. One way may be to only book accomodation, the other would be to book a new year trip and a pre-Christmas trip that is shorter than 7 days so we arrive back on the morning of the 24th December.
As you know buses depart Friday or we can depart a Saturday with enough notice and then return on the Saturday arriving in London on the Sunday.
But this means we would either ski the 17th Dec or 25th Dec week.

I will keep you posted as to what and when, but it is really going to be an awkward one. I will definitely be organizing one for the February half term as, but if the numbers agree and people are keen we can do a Xmas one as well.
