Its Snowing . . . Its Time To Travel

Tis the season for snow and traveling. The holiday celebrations are only a few days away and I am getting ready to embark on the fun adventure that is holiday airplane travel. The best part about this adventure is that it is snowing. It has been snowing all weekend long and it has continued to snow today. More snow is on the way, which is great for Missoula, as we don't really get all that much snow in the valley (Missoula is known as the Banana Belt of Montana).

I am head back to the holy land of the intermountain west to visit family and to ski. Oh to ski in the beautiful sugar snow of the Utah Mountains again.

There is however one thing I am not looking forward to, but am trying to keep a positive attitude about: Airplane travel during the holidays. Usually I don't mind flying, but since I have moved to Montana, flying is a bit different. The planes are way smaller, which means no real overhead storage space = everything pretty much has to be checked = expensive.

It is all about the journey and the destination. Have a great holiday season and I promise to post pictures soon!
