With the winter looming large and the Summer becoming a distant memory I think its time I started to put in some thought into a winter getaway. Its not much fun facing into these months without something tangible to look forward to.  On the bad days I can remind myself and the family that in a short distance of time we will be flying to Geneva Airport for a skiing trip. My wife and I are reasonably OK skiers having gone on trips in the past a few times.

Our two children have never been though so we will need to look into some decent ski school to enrol them in to get them started. I think its vitally important that they are taught well from an early stage if its to be something they enjoy in the future. There are plenty of flight option with budget airlines and I also use the same car hire Geneva Airport company and book accommodation in the same area. I think it will be fun to have the kids with us this time as we are usually on our own so it will be nice to mix things up. It will mean we wont be able to stay out as late but I’m sure their presence will more than make up for that.

Rugby is something which is very important to me. Its a game I love and I go to see as many games as I possibly can.  I started playing as a kid in school and my love for the game has just grown and grown from there. It helps that my dad was also a big fan. At weekends he used to take me to various club matches as well as big international games.

The World Cup is currently taking place in South Africa and has now reached the quarter final stage. I’m hoping to get over there for some games but its a bit up in the air at the moment. I think I can get flights sorted and I have a car hire Johannesburg Airport deal available to me but I’m still worried about match tickets.

Its hard sitting here watching it on TV when you really want to be there. The time difference means that there are some very early morning kick offs here in Europe which means that you really do miss the big game atmosphere. Its hard to get too excited at 6 in the morning when you are still struggling to wake up.

I was looking into hotels last night and there still seems to be a few options as well as plenty of decent car hire South Africa deals. Fingers crossed I make it.
