Going to Oslo, Norway!!!
Well, the original plan was to fly to Austria and go skiing, however, because of my student status and limited funds I am being much more cautious with my loan money. Austria was going to cost about $200 and was going to be more expensive for everything else overall. So, 6 of us got together today after class and decided upon Oslo, Norway. It is only about $90 to fly in and then for everything else (car rental, accommodation, equipment rentals, etc.) it will be about $50 per person for each. We are going to be skiing at Hafjell for 2 days and will be leaving on the 28th January. It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun and there is a good amount of snow at Hafjell. There is a lot to do at Hafjell, including Bobsledding, dogsledding, snowmobiling, etc. You can even choose to steer the dog sleds! How amazing would that be? I think I may attempt that... Well, I am heading down to deposit my loan check today and will most likely go buy a few shirts and pairs of jeans because I am still not with my luggage. It still says that they are tracing my bags on the website tracking service. Hopefully I will hear something positive by this weekend or the beginning of next week. I am hoping that they will reimburse me for my new purchases since it is their fault. Well, I better get going, hope everyone is having a great end of the week! Enjoy the weekend!!!

Yes, you do need to be frugal with your finances right now, and will need to work hard over break. Norway sounds like a nice place for you to have a break away from studies. Have fun. I sure hope the luggage is retrieved soon. I am sure there is more than just clothes in there you are waiting for. They should absolutely refund you a clothing expense since they are at fault. What if you had been going there for a week holiday only, and had none of your things the entire time!! Scary!!
Hope to see you on Skype today.
Love,
Mom
The airlines lost my friend, Jean's, luggage when she traveled to Austria with her husband several years ago - she spent the entire 3 weeks wearing the same clothes (and washing out the 'necessitites' in the bathroom sink each night). Her luggage got home the same time she did. I hope yours doesn't turn up in Phoenix. :)
Norway sounds awesome! Take pictures! Even if it's only with your cell phone!
