time for a huge blog that's a day overdue! hehehe
well, i had a fabulous time for on tuesday...just proves that if things are meant to be.. then everything would turn out alright..
it was a challenge planning this ski trip to blue mountain.. so many obstables to overcome and some that seemed impossible. But, it was a successful trip and honestly the highlight of my so far miserable holiday season. seriously, it has been nothing but stressful and prison like. whatever..
so, dan picked me up at 5am... took that long drive up to collingwood in the dark. Surprisingly, the conditions were amazing for driving, completely clear and not snowy. got there by 630 am! it was so pretty, the mountains were lighted but deserted.. it was gorgeous. We went to the westin to check in but found out that we couldn't check in till 3 pm. oh well, no big deal, we went to change into ski gear since the rentals opened at 8:00. hehehe.. walked around the deserted village.. took random pictures including pictures on top of snow banks, giant rocking chairs, and the mountain. Very very fun.. hehehe... meh... snowball fights were fun too!!! havn't done that in a while. once it hit 8, the place didn't open yet so we went to get breakfast. YUMMY....hehehe... so at 830, we went to rent our skis.. we were up front in line so it didn't take that long. bear in mind, i havn't skied since i was 7 so iw as a little scared.. but i didn't tell dan that.. LOL...
went up to the bunny hill first, thought i could handle it. Not bad not bad, went a little harder. was okay there too... then great, i was being brought up to the double diamond!!! EEEK! that was a disaster! LOL... I kept falling over and my skis kept coming off... eek! at one point, i completely gave up and walked down the hill.. LOL.. very embarassaing.. but whatever... hehehehe...
skied till like 12 ish until we both were tired and dan's wrist started to hurt. walked around the village for a while, so quaint.. I loved it.. hehehe.. i wanna get a cottage there one day. ben and jerry's wasn't that good though for some reason.. so okay. we thought that we might get to check in earlier than usual so we went at around 1 ish. They said the room would be available at around 230.. so we decided to wait in the warm fireplace lobby.. 230 came, the room wasn't done, 3:00!! came.. the room wasn't done.. 3:30 came! the room wasn't done.. boy was i frustrated.. i started spassing coz i wanted to sleep so badly!!! 4:00 came! the room wasn't done.. at this point i was almost yelling at the receptionist and i was near crying... dan calmed me down, told me to go for a walk. then the manager came out to talk to him coz i couldn't handle it.. and here shows dan's amazing sklls.. LOL!!! our room charge went from $279 a night to $200 a night!! plus!! we got a free unlimited dinner at OLIVER AND BONACINI! hahahaha!! amazing! dan asked for it and the manager came out and said "we would be very much obliged"!! hehehe...i even threated to leave at one point but we got that. plus we got free drinks at the bar too.. hehehe... sweet deal? i would say so. our room ended up being gorgeous! a suite.. definitely not good enough for just a night.... anyways... the dinner was sweet.. the bill ended up being like $150! hehehe.. we ordered the most expensive things too.. hehehe.. it was hilarious... and then when we asked for the bill, boy was it nice to hear "oh, the bill is already taken care of" hehehe... wish life was like that... all the time...so it was an enjoyable stay at the westin trillium after all...
checking out was sweet too... the manager came to see us when we left and then he gave us his card telling us to call him next time we wanted to stay at the westin.. HEHEHE... hilarious...oh.. and people though we were married... even calling dan Mr. Gaw! LOL.. hilarious hilarious hilarious!!! couldn't stop cracking up!
anyways, driving back wasn't as great coz it was really rainy. we ate at this quaint little place called the rock and roll diner which gave us HUGE servings!!! sooo freaking HUGE!!! the leftovers from both our plates were able to complete one normal meal! LOL... yeah.. so the only day of my holidays worth blogging about ended wayyy too fast...
meh, rough times afterwards but i know that the bigger picture is way stronger than little petty things...
thanks for a great weekend hun.. just shows that if things are meant to be, everything works out accordingly..
