Know your life isn’t glamorous. But that doesn’t stop us being jealous.
Seriously - yet again today I have decided not to entre a comp to win a holiday cause realistically I don’t know when I could take it!!
What comp?
Queensland trip small potatoes. Text me your email and I will fwd the email.
It depends on a number of different factors.
A lot of my snow trips have been built around airfare sales lining up with places I’ve wanted to go.
I got super cheeps flights to NZ during the snow season back in ‘09, think it was about $200 return. That resulted in a 2 week holiday and a help boarding trip.
Flights to Dallas return for $900 resulted in doing Miami, Bahamas, Cuba, New York & Dallas in July 2011 (I know not snow related).
Jealousy and flight sale resulted in me booking flights return to LAX for Feb this year in a trip that was going to be snow related but had to be cancelled.
I now have flights return to Santiago, Chile for July which I got with the voucher for the cancelled LAX trip & about $200. They were on sale for $1600 return compared to the normal $2600 average. So now in the process of booking accom for Las Lenas for a week in July and from this maybe jumping in on a trip with some random yanks to do some more riding around Chile for the 2nd week including a day of cat boarding.
Other than that recently my holidays have revolved around study tours for uni, 2 weeks overseas studying at a uni OS which is kinda a holiday and take 6 months off my uni degree. I did Toronto in July last year and as a result a couple of days in San Fran, Montreal & Calgary.
Currently applying for another study tour for Washington in Jan and planning on tacking a snow trip on it also.
In addition, both my Japan trips & my snow Canada trip were all planned a semi decent (a couple of months) in advance.
I don’t bother going if the weather isn’t good. I also know the weather can change from what was forecaster pretty quickly. I usually plan to on Thursday, but make the call in the morning - usually after the first FB update for the day. Gotta be careful with those updates however, but usually you can tell from where they are standing what it is ‘actually’ like.
