“I feel the need to endanger myself every so often.” ―
After returning from Florida, we spent one week in NY then went skiing in Colorado. Breckenridge was divine. Too bad we cannot be on vacation forever. Real life was here waiting for me.
The audit headache continues. The new auditor that we had to hire is proving to be more difficult than the actual regulators. He has given me information that is different than the regulation that I know. At this point, with 2 weeks to go, I have no choice, but just go along and get this done. After this audit is submitted then I will have decisions to make.
Right now, after putting out a fire, I am taking a break to have coffee. I am using this moment to tell you about my skiing vacation.
I am sharing some of the pictures from Breckenridge below. Here are some of the highlights and lowlights:
- We got upgraded to first class on the flight there. On the return we were upgraded to Delta comfort only, but still we had tons of room and a great flight.
- The shuttle from and to the airport worked out perfectly. We didn’t want to rent a car or to take a chance with Ubers.
- I was inflicted with altitude sickness for 2 days. I missed one day of skiing. Still, the good 4 days more than made up for those 2 days.
- The weather was perfect!! It snowed overnight a couple of days, and also on the last day there.
- It was not crowded on the mountain. There was no wait on the lift lines.
- My new ski boots are amazing. Easy to put on and remove it, and so comfortable. Comfortable boots makes such a difference.
- My new ski goggles, with room for my prescription glasses, was a game changer. In the past I was pretty much blind on the mountain. Now I can read the signs, use my phone, etc.
- My new skis are great, and it means that I don’t have to deal with the hassle of renting. I will still rent when bring my own skis may not be convenient.
- We ate out 4 evenings. I am highlighting 2 of the meals here. The best and the worst.
- The best meal was at Mimos Fancy Tapas. Everything was delicious and perfect. From the service to the ambiance. We will definitely return next time we are there.
- The worst meal was at Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant. The food had no flavor and the service was inattentive. Will never return and will warn others about it.
- Michael wanted to stay in Breckenridge an extra week. I have to keep reminding him that I still have a job. So, we came back.
Skiing continues to terrify me. I still struggle with it. I feel out of control. I panic. Still, I continue… because… I absolutely adore it! Go figure…
Now my focus is on getting this audit done. We will probably go back to Florida, and also go to Brazil at some point in the next few months. So much to do, so little time available to do it.
I hope everyone is having a great March!
