Hostile to Hostels! and back to skiing!

Well I just spent an amazing two days with Amanda & the kids. My first experience with Hostels....its so different...I thought 'OK.. we are sharing a cabin with 8 other people but we have our own bedroom with 3 sets of bunks' leaving one top bed empty. Well at 12.30 am a 50tyish man entered the room...I really hadn't noticed that there weren't locks on the doors...and said the office sent him down because there was one bed available in our cabin. Manda assured him this was a 'family' room. But the second time he came in she had had second thoughts and knowing the rules of hosteling didn't refuse him the top bunk...well I must say ... I was abit aghast! to say the least. However it all ended well...we went off skiing next morning (cross country) everyone's first time except Amanda and I and that was years ago! We loved it...Ocean conquered it and Brad mastered it...Jon did great but needed different clothes to truly enjoy the experience. Thanks Amanda! Great Christmas gift to your family! It gave us ideas for a winter family reunion when David and Erin get home!!! (hint..hint..) I can't post pictures cause something is wrong with the poster but hopefully manda will!
