About me

Leaving Oz on January 17th, 8 weeks skiing: Tahoe and Vail in the US and Lake Louise and Kicking Horse in the Canadian Rockies. I'm spending a week in Minneapolis to go Kite Skiing after one of my most anticipated activities: Lebowskifest in Chicago March 7, 8 & 9. Then onto the Grand Canyon by train for a few days, another train to LA and home. For a nice cup of tea... The Dude Abides....

My Travel Tip

Keep an open mind and heart. You never know where that may take you. Life is a natural zesty enterprise!

Hope you are enjoying your last week in the US! Just for fun, I was looking up tickets to Australia for August and found a return into Melbourne for $1,100. I'm not sure if that's a good deal which is obviously what I'm looking for! I figured since you have recently done the traveling, maybe you could give me some better insight about prices and where to go for good deals on plane tickets. If you have any suggestions... let me know!!
Talk to you soon! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Yeah, I'd say you have a pretty full itinerary ahead of you!! My sister lives in Tahoe if you ever need a place to stay! My friend and I just got back from Las Vegas!! It was my first time and we had an awesome time!!! There was a lot I didn't get to see so I would love to make a trip back sometime! There is too much to see and do for five days! San Fransisco (I think is where you said you were going) is one of my favorite cities in the US. There is a pretty fair amount of stuff to see and do. I've never been to LA. It's close to Vegas... but I didn't get to make it this time around! Let me know how it is!!
Enjoy traveling around the West!! Be safe!!! Talk to you soon.

I wish I was going to Australia at the end of April! But, just Minneapolis to start checking out apartments and interview with some schools for a job.
Passing through Ohio? Why on earth would you do that!!?? No, Im just kidding. When and Where abouts would you be coming through? If you need a place to stay, let me know!
Talk to you soon!

I know this is really weird, but your name happened to pop up on hostelworlds homepage and I saw you were going to Minneapolis which is where I am moving in June (but have not really been to). Hopefully you can give me a positive outlook on the city... and also tell me what Kite Skiing is... as I've never heard of it!! Hopefully you're loving your time in the US!!

Hi,
The credit can only be credited to the next booking you make on the site. So if you want it credited to a particular hostel, you need to make a booking for that hostel on the site.
Hope this helps,
Colm

Hi Jim,
Once you're logged in it should be credited to you when you make your next booking.
Thanks,
Colm

Sounds like a blast. I will reach out if I'm going to be out there. My pass comes with 10 days at Vail but I haven't been yet. It's a pretty sweet deal. Will you have a phone or anything while you are here? Maybe you can email me your contact info. Ciao

of course I talk to skiers. feuds between skiers and riders are best left to kids I think. You will have a blast in Vail. It has been colder than usual so dress with three layers! :)

Hi,
Afraid not! To find out who will be staying there the same time you will be there you need to email the hostel directly. Hope this helps,
