San Francisco 2012 - Day 4

Body clock is so messed up!! I keep waking up every hour or some after 2:00am its really not helping my skiing either.

After my early wake up call I polished off an alright breakfast I head out to get my gear on!

Anyway enough crap about my body. Today was the first day of skiing, I can say that it wasn't my best day on the slopes. After snowboarding last year in Canada I hadn't really skid for about two years. Although I got into the hang if it after a couple of runs. No fresh powder in a couple of weeks here, there were a couple of ice spots here and there, especially towards the end of the day when the shadows of the trees started to freeze up the snow, it was time to head back down.

Feet nakered and feeling gross (won't go into detail) already managed to mess up my foot on the first day, now I'm walking around with a limp like and idiot, but I guess its the sign of a hardcore skier. Right? Maybe not. It was now shower and chill time. As the drinking age is 21 in the US and its pretty strict for underage drinking we managed to sneek a few Buds into the hotel!

Heading out to Applebies tonight, haven't been to one since the last time I was in the US (its like TGI Fridays) they sell some damn good munchies!! I had a big ass burger which tasted aweaomeeeee!!

Managed to find a way to hack the internet connection in the hotel today, so should be able to update this blog a bit more without it costing me! Anyway off to bed now another day of skiing tomorrow, so another early start!

(Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any snap shots of skiing today ill try get some tomorrow!)

Boston/Stowe (14th February 2015) - Day 3

Image
Today we set off for Stowe! Location: Boston, Massachusetts  Weather: Sunny/Cloudy  Temp: -12°  We had the afternoon left in Boston yesterday which we spent most of it in bars (I'm not complaining). Since there is a 5 hour time difference sleeping was a little odd, managed to wake up at 3am and then managed to get up at 6:30am which is around 11:30am in the UK. So kind of fits my sleeping pattern right down to a tee!  I managed to get up just as the sun was rising! Being me i managed to take a few snaps (few being lots) After I finished taking loads of photos we went down for a coffee (after a shower of course) thats where i managed to finish off the blog post that i was suppose to send out last night. We didn't hang around in the hotel for long, before I knew it we were out the door and back to the airport to get the rental car. We managed to get a Ford ...

Hawaii 2012 (30th May) - Day 3

Image
Off to Kauai in Hawaii today!  Well My sleep was pretty amazing, air con that actually works and a bed that didn't suck! Wonderfullll! Anyway woke up about 8 ish this morning, had a quick sunbath by the pool before going down for a feast of a breakfast! (was pretty awesome) After some filling breakfast we headed off to the airport, (for a world famous airport it really wasn't they impressive) yeah i admit the place was HUGE but inside it has nothing to do! (kinda like the Tardis but the other way round,yeah.) The flight was about 5 hours long, so wasn't as bad as the trip from Heathrow to LAX but still kinda bored! All i can say is thank god i bought mine craft on my mac, oh and my iPod (lifesaver!) Arriving at Kauai airport was weird, the place is so chilled out! The whole airport was made of wood!!! WOOD!! So yeah they was cool.  After we grabbed our bags and other rubbish we brought along with us we went to pic up our rental car, we have a Chrysler Miniva...

Its ski time 2 (This time i mean it) Location: Stowe, Vermont  Weather: Sunny/Cloudy Temp: -10°C  Im feeling much better (thank you for asking), although I'm writing this late at night when I'm tired and have to get up early again for more skiing action so i apologies in advance if this post seems a little rubbish!  The weather was pretty much perfect, i mean yeah the starting temp was around -22 but it warmed up! Oh i forgot breakfast! i had leftover pizza from last night. (Super interesting i know) Anyway, the snow was awesome although there was a few hard packed and powdery patches around but nothing you can't get your edges into!  We didn't spend too long on the mountain as i've managed to pass on my germy germs onto my parents, (best son ever!) We got a few hours in bare in mind that this was my first day so we all had to get our rhythm back! And yeah it didn't take long, one easy run and I'm back in the zone (Insert shade...
