:D sounds like me. Night before our holiday lost my passport..........it was in my handbag.
Right thats the start of things going right for you, no more talk of jacking it all in :D.

So sorry to hear your bad news, so hope it does not result in your coming home. You must love it you would not be doing a second season if you did,nt. I so wish I lived near your house I could have looked in for you and helped with the tortoise. So hope things look up for you. You are doing what I just dont have the courage to do just yet.

I've been struck by a new batch of Schnapps before. Likewise it had the same effect on the whole group, as we walked home from the Bacchus Celler in Prutz. Luckily we were not wearing oxygen mask at the time.

:D

I suspect you are looking at the Crystal all inclusive deal which is really a good deal. This is the one we did. Stayed in Gotzens at the hotel Edelweiss. Hotel okay nice rooms and clean. Food not spectacular but okay. Rep did a bunk the night we arrived so sort of fumbled our way to getting hire stuff and lessons sorted. The main problem for us was about 200 french students staying at the same hotel. The hotel is unmanned after midnight. The noise from 200 drunk french students was hideous, but with the help of earplugs managed some sleep. There is nothing to do in Gotzens except a few walks. Seefeld is a far better place to go in my opinion with the slopes being far better suited to a beginer than Axamer. Crystal actually gave us a 200 pound voucher each for inconvenience which went to-wards our next holiday at Seefeld.

Axamer Lizum was my first ever ski holiday. We had lessons every day. The problem for me was the nursery slopes were at the bottom of the main slopes so very busy. I found the slopes quite challenging as a complete newcomer, but great for a more competent skier. Where abouts would you be looking to stay? If you stay slopeside on the mountain there is very little to do. If you stay in Axams its a long ski bus trip to the mountain and nothing except the hotel bar and a small night club in village. The ski school was very good but me as a nearly 50yr old in a class of youngsters I was a bit out of my depth. Also the board/boot hire was very dated. Any-thing else you need to know give us a shout.
