PACKING....

Three days left to the "D" day! Thinking about packing - boys will have two bags with their cushions, bowls, food, blankets, towels etc, etc... As to my luggage - just imagine how bulky is the skiing gear! What about the photographing equipment?! Where will I put my hats to avoid squashing them??? PANIC! The escapade is carefully planned: part of the team drives in a car and takes all the luggage. I and Anna are taking the boys on a train... prefer that to sitting in a car for a long time. We are going to Krakow and than to Zakopane.

At the moment it's raining... unseasonably warm... will it snow for Christmas? Of course there is snow high up in the mountains but...

WHAT AM I DOING?!?

I always promissed myself never to go and look for the cold - and what am I doing? I am going for a skiing holiday in Tatra Mountains... I am already cold and miserable... I did plan to escape to Africa for a few weeks but instead succumbed to my neighbours' persuasive arguments and am going somewhere cold.-
Well, there was a little more to that actually. Aussie suffered a lot during his last stay in the hotel. I just couldn't face leaving him there again. I am able to take my boys with me. I am sure they will enjoy their holiday too! Just wait till you will see their snow boots!
I am looking forward to nice snowy mountains. Nothing I like more than early morning run through the endless whiteness, total silence...
