Anyone out there a Stephen King fan? Then you should know his piece “The Langoliers”, which also made it to the big screen. For those of you who don’t: Big airplane with destination somewhere on the US mainland. All of a sudden most of the people on the flight have vanished, with a few “lucky” ones left to their destiny. Manage to land the plane on some mysteriously abandoned airport surrounded by mountains (probably somewhere in Maine, considering it’s Stephen King…). No people, no communications, no other planes, not even any smells or sounds on the airport - completely dead. Dead, except for the langoliers coming closer and closer from the mountains.

We took a trip up to Lucerne, Switzerland from the 17th to the 23rd of December. We figured it would be nice to be in a winter wonderland.

I wasn't leaving Switzerland without skiing. However, that early in the season, the only people out were experts, well, except me. I struggled down the mountain a couple times. This is no little hill. Then it was snowing hard and I couldn't handle it. I thought I was going to die the last time down. Ok, so I probably wasn't that close to death, but still,.... Skiing in Switzerland- check.... read more
