New Snow

Hi All,
Last night (New Years Eve) should have been a quiet friendly affair for our family, so how on earth we found ourselves crawling into bed at 4:30 am this morning (New Year's Day) is anyone's guess. About all I can remember of the evening's activities is the fantastic fireworks display at midnight from the London Eye - Sydney Harbour eat your heart out. So another year gone and only 3 weekends to go before we head off to Austria, so now is the busy time, preparing the skibikes and sorting all the clothes for the holiday; it's not too bad when when your vacation is one week, but this time we are going for two weeks so with a 33 kilo airline baggage allowance, items have to be carefully weighed. Thankfully though we pay a skibike surcharge these days so their weight is not included, unlike the old days when this was not an option and you never new if your skibike would make the same flight as you, or any flight for that matter. On a lighter note though it would appear the snow forecast for Austria is looking better with snow predicted for much of this week. We were starting to worry as the lack of fresh snow was becoming a concern.
Gail & Mervyn.
P.S. You may have noticed that the Nostaglia page has gone from our website, the reason is the lack of material we could include, and the fact we had 13 pages in our website, not that we are superstitious though?
