ready to go "faire du ski"

We are all packed and ready to go on our first ski trip in the Alps. We are going with our American friends. We were told that you MUST bring your snow chains with you... they will stop you on the road and if you don't have them, you will be turned away. Hmm... we bought ours about 10 years ago and they sat in the garage, never opened. On a whim, I brought them over here... I suppose we can figure out what to do with them.

Anyway, when Paul told the guys at work where we would be skiing, the response was, "That's where all the Americans go!".... well duh!

The trip should be good for quite a few blog stories... stay tuned.
