Well, I have just returned from the class ski trip. I've spent 5 days and 4 nights in the snow with 27 of my 28 cherubs, plus two very brave parent volunteers!!! St. Mary's owns a ski lodge in Tsumagoi, which is approximately 4 hours north-west of Tokyo. The accommodation was very comfortable, the food was good, however I didn't partake of the onsen experience (bath water after 27 boys is not appealing!). When we arrived on Monday, it was snowing. From Tuesday-Thursday the weather was mostly sunny, and the boys reported that the snow was great. On Thursday night we all had a snowball fight (it did end in tears for some - hurt pride, nothing else!). Unfortunately, early on Friday morning there was some rain, so the snow was quite wet for the boys' final morning on the slopes - not good. The bus ride back to school was smooth - nobody was sick on the bus - yeah!!, and we all made it back in good health :) A good time was had by all... but I do believe that it is now time to sleeeeep!!! I do want to learn to ski one of these days... before I'm too old!
