A week in Colorado (Aspen & Vail) gave us plenty of time to enjoy some fresh powder and catch up with old friends & make new ones! There was a big storm that came through while in Vail which was exciting... so much snow!! Thanks to Eli & Marcus for having us to stay...we had a super time! From Colorado we had the super long drive down to the Gran Canyon, where we found a bargin hotel after a whole lot of nothing (desert & indian reserves). Next day we spent a good part of it looking around the Gran Canyon [View Full Entry]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.... We saw the New Years in Aspen amidst freezing tempratures. It was fun times celebrating with Lysette, Bexs, Debbie & Ams. We have now completed the first week of our girls road trip throught the states. We all met up in LA, picked up our chev ( complete with buttons that open & close the doors and dvd player ) and headed to Vegas for 2 days. We maxed out the credit card at the Vegas outlet stores and screamed our little hearts out at a Vegas Show. Checked out the strip and all its amazing lights. [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Charlotte after coming from a cold New York, to find sunny, beautiful weather! Hannah met us at the airport and after having some lunch we went back to her cute wee place. We spent a lovely afternoon on the porch sitting in rocking chairs listening to some great stories from molly her sister. In the evening we had some visitors that popped by to say hello and went out to a party to meet some of Hannahs friends. Saturday we went shopping in the morning and then got a ride up to lenoir. We had a lovely relaxing [View Full Entry]

After staying the night in Madrid, at Debbie's friends place, we caught a taxi at 445am to the airport. Everyone must have still been half asleep because we went through customs with each others passports and didnt even realise till we were through the other side!! The scary thing was that the customs officers didnt even look twice...yikes we were lucky.. we could have gotten into so much trouble! We arrived in New York in the evening of the 11th, after a long day of flights & waiting in airports. We got picked up by Jack the guy we were staying [View Full Entry]

Had a great time hanging out with Liv, Dan, Miles & Debs, it was just a pity it went so fast! It pretty much snowed the whole time I was there...the locals were saying its the most snow they have had at this time of the year since 1987. Val is full of english, spanish and french people, so I didnt have to much problem commuicating. One of the nights everyone was [View Full Entry]

Well, this draws an end to my two week stay in Vigo. I had a wonderful time and was treated like a princess! I got a tummy bug on the first day I was here so was in bed for a whole day which was a shame.. but it didnt take me long to get out and about again! I struggled in the first few days with so much spanish. It was very tiresome having to speak spanish all day every day after not using it for so long! after a bit i got the swing of things again and was [View Full Entry]

Ohakune Mardi Gras, has become a bit of a tradition…every year a group of 25+ of us head on down to the Mountain for the Mardi Gras weekend. Normally it is in August, the same weekend as the carrot festival but this year they decided to have it the ‘opening weekend’ in accordance with the opening of the new lifts. Well the idea was a good one but unfortunately the weather didn’t come to the party and therefore there was no where near enough snow to open the mountain. We did however go up the mountain and have a couple [View Full Entry]
