Christmas vacation.

. . After some serious searching I finally found all that I need to arrange the Christmas vacation. It looks like a cabin is open and there are flights that match the needs of my lady friend. I have one final thing, or set of things, to check with here. The flights at the times she wants or needs each have an additional stop and the cabins require us to ski to them! It sounds exciting to me, even if the rout is almost four miles in. We will have to bring some gear with us, as well, so it will be a 'working vacation'. For me, I am all in for it. I will need to send her a checklist of things she will need to bring, some of which if she does not have I will help with. Though I think she has most of it or will get it herself. Who knows. We will mess with those details as the time draws nigh. Though this will short my credit a bit now, it should all be paid for when the time comes. By then, I should not only have this paid for, I would guess I will have my credit cards zeroed again, and some money in the bank. I must admit, at this point though, the prospect of buying the tickets and making reservations is a bit nerve tingling in the bad way. Sticker shock works like that. But having it done and over, in time, will be reassuring. I suppose it goes along with 'having your cake and eating it to'. All things have their price and their pleasure, but only one of those at a time, as the saying suggests. I think it is better to pay the price first, then lounge in the pleasure. Yes, I know, it does not quite fit, nag, nag, nag. :p I am excited about the deal. It will be interesting to see if skiing and lodging a bit in the boonies is as good for her as is canoeing and kayaking. If so, we might have to make this a regular event. I know I am quite interested. If nothing else, I might have to find other friends who like such things or simply go on my own. We (by we, I mean I) will even have to chip off my own wood for the pot belly stove. She will, I am sure, be happy that the cabin I have chosen is not, itself, in avalanche territory. Nor is the approach to it in avalanche threat. If, like all the other cabins avalable, much of the area around the chosen cabin is in avalanche area. All of the other cabins and some of the approaches to the other cabins are in avalanche lanes. *laughs* I guess that is how the nether regions are, in the mountains anyway. It feels good to finally have that settled. Though I best get on reservations and such quickly. Tomorrow is a state holiday, so I cannot hold the cabin. And I will not make flight reservations until a cabin can be reserved. Though I can call her and leave a message to call me concerning the details. The bother, but it would be nice to see Tiger Lily again.
