Sorry I have been away a while - I had to help the nice Austria man in my hotel draw up a menu for the week - he does the same meals each Monday, Tuesday etc and so now all he has to do is change the date.
Is a menu a list ?

Paul Mason, when I wash the clothes from the previous trip, I separate it into ours and the kids gear (as they don't always come with us), then put gloved goggles, hats and a pair of socks into our respective boot bags, and the ski jumpers thermals etc into the holdall, salopettes too. Jackets get hung up in the wardrobe as we usually wear them. They then go into the loft and are removed the weekend before the next trip. Add some jeans, and refill the toiletry bag and we're off.

Keep it up guys. This is all classic stuff. Never mind Sir Arnold Lunn and all that, we British will be remembered longer for our ski trip check lists.

You've managed to get a probe in your hand luggage on a flight???
(and they told me my small padlock for the gym would have to go in the hold...obviously far more dangerous).

Aah. My favourite thread comes to the top of the pile again.
It was never a problem though as I actually had it marked at the end of my 2006 diary list entitled,
List of Things for 2007 Diary.

snowball, is "Harscheisen" German for bogroll?

Hoppo, .........not quite, but I'm sure you will agree that if a Harscheisen broke whilst climbing up a very steep ice face.......then 'bogroll' might very well be a requirement........

Paul Mason, mind experts have proven, beyond doubt, that the brain can't think properly in lists. What's needed here is a "ski bag packing mind map" (anyone a fan of Tony Buzan). You'd start with a huge sheet of paper, a pic of yourself and your bags in the centre (fully or partially naked, your choice) and have small drawings or photos of items you need linked by lines to the parts of the body and then the bag they pertain to. This would be far more effective as it would help train your brain and would mean you could do without a list in future. Over to you.
Ladies, please post your mind maps soon as you've finished. Ta. |
So lots of coloured pens then and plenty of paper.
I suggest you also need a Time Manager - break the whole thing down into tasks and activities. If something is worth doing it is worth doing properly. It will also help reduce stress if you are fully prepared.
Of course, you will need all sorts of electronic versions of the same as well.
More lists please. We can all learn from this.
