\tMy head is absolutely spinning from spending the last couple of days researching our Christmas vacation. I know, I know. I\u0092m not going to get any sympathy from anyone about how hard it is to find a place to stay to ski in the French Alps. I don\u0092t want your pity. But your calculator might be handy.<\/p>\n
\tBill and I try to stay in France for our ski vacations so that Kaitlyn can take all her lessons with the ESF — the French national ski school. That way the curriculum is standard no matter where we go. Last year she earned her \u0093snowflake\u0094 badge and that means something to the next ski instructor she\u0092ll have. <\/p>\n
\tFrench ski resorts are very popular destinations for the British. So much so that a lot of the prices are quoted in Pounds Sterling. Just when I thought I\u0092d managed to sort of keep up with the ever changing Euro and be able to estimate the conversion into Dollars… now it\u0092s the Pound. And to make the comparison more fair, Bill tries to convert from Pounds to Euros… which really only confuses me even more.<\/p>\n
\tThen you have to decide: hotel? chalet? catered chalet? Again, I know not a soul out there is going to say \u0093ohh… your life is so hard!\u0094 Fine. You look at these websites and try to make sense of them. Some list the prices by the person by the day. Some by the week. Some for the whole place by either the day or the week. Not all of them bother to tell you how they\u0092re breaking down the prices… so you can just assume. Which can be an expensive guessing game. Not that I\u0092ve gotten far enough to actually hand out a credit card number to any of these people yet. <\/p>\n
\tI\u0092ve written to a handful looking for an actual quote. I haven\u0092t heard back from any of them yet. Sure, it\u0092s Sunday. But, come on! Christmas is only 4 months away. I need to get this taken care of!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
