Far Queue, I just love your countdown page 8) We might nip a cheeky Christmas Market trip to Cologne :D

Tropicana, your in the lead. My calculations suggest end of November or early December for you :D

:) Thanks AlistairS.

The Christmas Market trip also coincides with the Cross Country Sprint event which is held down the side of the river. http://www.worldcup-duesseldorf.de/en.html (not updated for this year yet)

I have thought about going to that for a few years, but finally managed to talk some friends into going mainly for the markets, and a good beer feuled weekend :)

Far Queue, that looks good fun and with a few beer's onboard even better! :D We used to go to Christmas Markets up until about 4 years ago when we went skiing in December instead. As we are going skiing in January we might have a long weekend away in December. Not been to Duesseldorf as yet but it looks fun. :wink:

My next ski holiday is half booked. I've got the ski train tickets to Moutiers but not the apartment because it hasn't come on sale yet. I don't know how many sleeps it is but we're going Saturday 31st December.

Dave,
I got our ski train tickets several days ago, because I pre-registered for them with Eurostar a year ago and they rang me up to tell me I could have them. We're going out Standard Class in the morning on Saturday and back the following Saturday night in the luxury Standard Premier class where we get food included and more comfy seats (so I don't have to sleep on the floor in the buffet bar again) all for the grand total of GBP189 return each.

Well done for getting your tickets today :D

School holiday times will be sold out by the end of today I should think apart from the business class.

Same here. No deals good enough at the moment, and I am expecting bookings to be WELL down this year so there will definitely be some late bargains to be had.

Looking at the usual early Jan and early March trips again. Destination unknown as yet, probably Dolomites but prepared to consider almost anywhere at the right price.

Interesting with the current economic climate. I think we will hold out for our group trip booking as well as our March trip and see what discounts are available :wink:

I could not resist booking one trip. Something to look forward too :D

Just booked the other half of our ski holiday - the accommodation. We're now going to Meribel for New Year, not Courchevel, because our usual apartment is doing Monday to Monday and we're going out on the Eurostar ski train on Saturday. Maybe it's just as well. We've had 2 ski holidays in Val Thorens and 2 in Courchevel so it's probably a good idea to have a ski holiday in the middle Valley, between the two of them.

I suppose it's about 150 sleeps - much too early to start counting yet!
