As a warm up (not sure that is the right phrase) to my long leave I am off to Canada tomorrow for a skiing trip. I went there with a group in 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed it so looking forward to much the same.

I tend to keep a written journal on holidays and trips and will do so again in Canada but will copy it into this blog when I get back, as practice for future trips. There I have said it now so I'll have to do it!

I fly out from Heathrow at 13:30 on an Air Canada flight to Calgary then transfer to Banff.
