Cruisin’ California
Spring Break ist nicht nur fuer die Amerikanischen Studenten – Heidi & Rainer werden ebenfalls unterwegs sein! Und somit werden die Highways & Byways der Suedwestlichen USA zwischen 28. Maerz und 12. April 2010 wieder unsicher gemacht! Gut Ding braucht Weile – und daher hat es jetzt auch ein bisschen gedauert, bis dieser Post verfuegbar war. Aber besser spaet als nie kommt hier die urspruengliche Road Trip Uebersicht (Fassung 3.0 – detailliert). H&R Easter 2010 Road Trip Alle weiteren Posts folgen … Read More
Heavenly skiing …

Heavenly! That’s how I usually feel on the slopes of Lake Tahoe’s highest elevation ski resort Heavenly! This weekend, we’re on our next trip up to the snow – spening Friday night at TimberLodge again, to enjoy a full day skiing. The usual suspects (Andrea & Kirk, Kristina & Clae & Kody) are being joined this time by the Stewarts (Alexis & Matt & Jake & Kobe), to test the motto; “the more the merrier”. While Kristina & Alexis took the boys sledding … Read More
Kirk in the Woods?

Skiing on groomed runs is one thing. Skiing through the woods is a different thing. For this year, Kirk and I will stick to the easy/intermediate runs. And today we’ve chosen another one of my favorite ski resorts in the Sierra: Kirkwood! (the name says it all) The 3rd time is a charm, right? So heading up the mountains on a Sunday morning at 6am (leaving Dublin) / 6:30am (leaving Livermore, Kristina, Clae, Kirk & me – all piled up the Murano) has … Read More
A Walk For A Cure
Only You can motivate Yourself, but Others can inspire You! Well, I have been inspired to do something good this year – for myself and the community: I will participate in the 2010 Avon Walk For Breast Cancer in San Francisco, CA on the July 10+11 weekend! To get myself in better shape (walking 39 miles in 2 days needs some preparation) and to raise funds to fight cancer ($1,800 minimum goal)! More to follow in upcoming posts … but … Read More
Suite and the City

A night on the town gets a really nice touch when your stay is as memorable one as this one! Planning to spend an evening in the city, dinner with Adam (Kirk’s brother), followed by a trip to the California Academy of Sciences the next day, Kirk and I picked the San Francisco Marquis Marriott to be the hotel of our choice. Associate rate comes in handy at a hotel like this. And when you “know someone”, your $79 room … Read More

Am Freitag auf’d Nacht, montier i die Schi … auf mei Auto, und dann begib i mi … nach Heavenly, am Lake Tahoe … lalalalala! (For all you non-Austrians: this is a great Austrian song about going skiing over the weekend (in Austria, not Lake Tahoe of course), and my motto (and melody stuck in my head) whenever I’m heading out east towards the Sierra! Right, it is THAT season again! The one where some people freak out, check their car’s all wheel … Read More
Giving your skis the boot …

If the shoe doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit. And no matter how good of a deal it was, or how nicely the colors of the boots match the ones of the skis – it’s not going to be fun on the run. What run? What boot? Well, let’s just say we were completely outfitted & ready for our very first skiing weekend together – at Heavenly at Lake Tahoe – when Kirk realized that the ski boot that had fit perfectly at the shop did … Read More
Memories … Ein Rückblick.

Unglaublich, aber wahr! Wir sind schon seit 3 Wochen wieder zu Hause im winterlichen (= regnerischen) Kalifornien und vom Alltag fast komplett verschluckt! Aber so ein großartiger Urlaub kann nicht ohne Resüme als abgeschlossen gelten! Daher kommt jetzt & hier mein Schlußkommentar … Und weil die meisten Leser in den USA sitzen: auf Englisch. As Kirk and I were planning the details of our Australia trip (which really were not as many details as you’d think if you know me and have travelled … Read More
