Snowtrip to Jindabyne and Thredbo.

Ok so the snowtrip turned out to be a huge success for us all. The flight down was ontime and perfect flying was had by all.

On arrival at Canberra,0degrees,buses and hirecars were sorted and off we went. Actually the hirecar lady must have felt sorry for Wayne as at one stage he was left with all the baggage,5large suitcases, 5 carry on bags, 1 laptop bag,ski boots bags, blankies and pillows. All on his own in front of the carhire counter. She upgraded our car from a lancer to a brand new commodore. Very nice.

Once checked into the B & B home for us for the week, it was off to find the realestate and find the girls new staff accomodation. As it turned out because we parents were there and the girls were early, they got to choose out of half a doz units. They chose a 2 bedroom unit, overlooking the lake. Only four girls to share in total. Great.

Then it was the 2 days of skiing for Kelsie to learn to ski before she was thrown into instructor training. Yes she is going to be teaching 3 to 6 year olds to ski so she needed to be able to ski first. As a snowboarder it came very easy to her and she mastered it in the first day. Kool.Thredboland and the supervisors were fantastic and so helpful.

Amongst other activities, suitcases were unpacked, beds were made,food shopping was done, snowballs thrown,the town was surveyed so they knew where everything was including the nite life, flatmates with cars were met and their first nites were brilliant.

All in all a fabulous adventure. The hardest part was driving away knowing she will be living so far from home, and in the cold. But I know she will be just fine. She is going to have so much fun and excitement.

Until later
