Would be a pleasure, however my daughter is arriving the 5th for a week so I am fully booked :)

Wanna try and get 4 or 5 days in somewhere high or near a glacier. Looking like Zermatt, Mayrhofen/Tux or Kaprun at the moment, all though I am tempted to go to Tignes.

Got through customs alright this morning, didnt bother posting reciepts back etc, it came with a v. nice box that I didn't wanna chuck :)

Anyway, from Friday I have a couple of weeks vacation, where should I go? hmmmm?

Mornin' all. In up state New York about to head for the train down to the city to fly home tonight. Unfortunately no time for riding :(

On a positive note I bought myself a new toy!!! Gave up on the GPS idea and decided I wanted something I could use in the mountains and for work...so I got meself a Tissot T-Touch and I bloody love it :)



Polished titanium bracelet and casing
Carbon fibre dial
Altitude gage
Temp gage
Atmospheric barometer
Chronograph
Compass (which you can adjust for magnetic or geographic north)


Hope customs don't nab me in Frankfurt.

If I could answer those questions I would be there too!!

Good point, you really need to read a good cross section and make up your mind, but generally I have had good success with using this tool.

Best place to start is TripAdvisor.

They list all hotels by poularity, you can really screen for what you need then go and investigate price on some of the big hotel search engines (laterooms, expedia etc). After you have found the hotel(s) of your choice look at flights (www.skyscanner.net is the best tool around). Then if you need a car the best option I have seen around is to go to the website of the airport you are flying to and look for the links there, you get all the local companies as well as the biggies (Hertz, Avis etc) and find the best option for you.

If you wanna do something really special regarding accomodation www.shl.com (small luxury hotels) is a blinder, I have checked this already for Corsica there is only a pair and they are very expensive.

So 3 steps to heaven. Accomodation, Flights, Transfer...........easy!

One week or two? You got me researching on your behalf now )
