I can only find one place that is a car drive away from the lifts so far but I'll keep checking! :D

I think the 12th Jan is a Tuesday, not Monday.

Maybe Pablo is wondering why you don't go from e.g. Sat 2nd - Sat 9th Jan? Too expensive? Too busy?

Edit - Penny just dropped - you are going to the same place as the others, so that you get a few days overlap with them :oops:

Ally

Yes you've got it!

Wake up!!!

You can only book Sat to Sat, which would mean booking two weeks if I want to stay from Thursday to Monday/Tuesday...Are you awake now? :wink:

Did I miss something?

I can't do the whole of the week because of an interview on 13th/14th. I've changed the already booked week to the 6th of Feb, now I'm looking to try and get to ADH from Weds 6th - Mon 12th Jan so that I can still show TonyH how to ski. :lol:

Just priced up a 5 day break in Alpe D'huez from 7th to 12th Jan. The Flight + transfer = £100 each but can't find anywhere to stay for just five days. :roll:

Come and doss in our chalet!!!!

Thanks Tony, they say no.

You mean, you're having two ski holidays now instead of one? How greedy :shock: :D

Ally

If I can find somewhere to stay for five days then yes. It will be three in that case as we have a New Year trip booked. ( got to make the most having a 5 months off work!)

I've never really had one either. I suppose hubby breaking his collar bone could be classed as a holiday nightmare. But it was more of a nightmare for him really, he missed three days skiing I didn't.

That was in Bulgaria too.

Good to see you back online smirnoffskier!

Hiya. Sorry to hear you wont be joining us in ADH now, but I am pleased its for the right reasons. For the sake of a £20 admin fee, changing the holiday is absolutely the right thing to do. I was looking forward to skiing with you and Scapula, but there will be other opportunities. Whereas, there might not be other opportunities for your career. Best of luck for the job, although I feel a little sad you 2 won't be there now.

The main reason I have been in such a quandary about this Tony is because we were going to be meeting up with you and Mrs H. If it wasn't for that, changing the holiday to three weeks later would be no hardship.

I did explore the option of flying back for the interview but that would mean missing two days skiing and it would have become very complicated.

I hope there will be another opportunity for me to see you put thise Neos to work. :wink:
