schifoan!!! schifoan!!! schifoan!!!

We finally managed to reserve an appartement for next week to go skiing. It wasn't as easy as I thought (note to self - do it earlier next year!!!) as the whole Gastein area is more or less booked out. The good news is however, that we managed to get the last appartement in Zell am See. I remember having been to Zell am See with P&G in my first year shortly after I joined in Austria for a company ski weekend. We went to some local pub with life music and lots of drinks (we had to wait for the German HR manager to go home at around midnight though ...) and it was simply fantastic. I think that was more or less the year of "Anton aus Tirol" and even though Zell am See is not in Tirol, but in Salzburg - it simply didn't matter when the whole pub went crazy singing that beautiful unofficial Apres-Ski-hymn.

I am now officially starting the countdown for my vacation - I hope it will start tomorrow afternoon.

ps: this just in - I have to attend a phone conference tomorrow afternoon from 3 to 4. Life sucks. But only tomorrow...
