We have had about 1.5 metres of snow in the last week. The snow has been so heavy that chairlifts have been shut, the funicular has been finishing at the Chamonix train station and not heading to Argentiere. Roads have been blocked past our Chamonix chalet and weather announcements released.
This is in direct contrast to 2 winter seasons past, when there was the unusually mild Feb weather, grass showing on mountainsides, and warnings that global warming meant the end of skiing in the Alps. Highlighting this the OECD’s report from 2005 warned that global warming would make skiing far too dear for a lot of snowboarders, with a third of ski domains going bust and the receding of alpine glaciers. Experts assert that it is nearly impossible to assign these seasonal variations in the snow conditions to the outcomes of global warming.
So we might be experiencing the longest recession in almost 30 yrs, and the Pound has plummeted to new levels versus the euro, but the conditions are excellent, and the latest bookings highlight that skiers are eager to take of advantage of the superior conditions. Its definitely the finest in seven seasons, and many skiers are announcing its the finest skiing conditions in at least ten winter seasons.
Notwithstanding recall that this amount of snow means high risks of avalanche.

The thought of a South African safari will probably stir up the visualisations of excitement and the location of stunning Africa. Walking safaris have been well accepted in South Africa for decades and have become famous with the Scottish holiday tourists cause of the unbelievable weather and the awesome wildlife that can be explored.
The very best time to explore South Africa for a wonderful walking safari is around February as the weather is magnificent. The number of Welsh tourists who travel over to South Africa for a walking safari has risen in the last seven decades due to the strong pound and also due to the increased attention of Africa.
The wildlife that you might note is huge, you might see cheetahs and eagles all up close. Africa is ideal for those who want to come and scout out the wildlife and also wish for a romantic vacation. The safaris are not too strenuous that you couldn’t go back to your spectacular hotel in the evening for a romantic evening. That is why walking safaris in Africa will be perfect for a honeymoon. Zambia has some of the very best privately owned lodges and walking safaris in the universe and should be experienced by everybody at least once. Try Africa safari holidays from Kaingo and explore your wild side.

Southern Africa is a fantastic country, the large open fields teaming with wild dogs and one of the lowest population ratios in the area. Southern Africa comes with some of the nicest natural landscapes in South Africa, the desirable blend of beautiful fields, scenery and marshlands makes the total land come to life. Not only may you be graced at the forests, one will furthermore be amazed at the graceful lakes and springs. A real sanctuary on earth. Try a safari holiday with Kaingo and see the beautiful lands of Africa.
In South Africa one will be able to investigate the greatest waterfall of all, the Victoria Falls. This superb waterfall has been a place for tons of big cats with lots of big cats and elephants coming to drink the cold waters that run here. Also make sure you yourself view the birds & hippos on the Zambezi River, & do not forget to bring a guide as the river might be a bit aggressive. one may of course wish to purchase a driving tour in South Luangwa National Park and get yourself upclose with the varieties of wildlife. On a walking tour you will see lions & truly rare wild dogs. If you yourself are lucky enough one will see a heard of giraffes with their young. The ability to be so close with all of these pretty animals is amazing.
Accommodation in South Africa should range from 5 star luxury hotels right through to outside shelters without any electricity. Whichever accommodation type you select one can be sure of a stunning time.

When you are the author of five books and a host of columns and articles, something in the back of your brain speaks to you. “Just because you’re published, don’t get it into your head that people care a rat’s fundament that you have had 45,000 people read your articles and columns, not to mention your books, and that someone, somewhere is even syndicating your material to the tune of 700 publications and counting.”
That would be the voice of reason talking.
I know this because one source I use to track my writing recently issued a report that people are actually reading what I write and doing so in great numbers. This does not mean that I am famous and most certainly does not mean that I am rich. But, what it does mean is that I am currently having to wade through a bevy of e-mails from readers who think because,
1. I live in Mexico.
2. Because I write about Mexico.
3. That 1 + 2 = I must be a tour guide, an interpreter or translator, an expatriate mentor, a hotel reservation-maker and confirmer, and that if they write and say, “Oh, tell me what I need to know to retire to Mexico,” that I have nothing else to do with my time but try to come up with an explanation to the general question, “What’s it like to live in Mexico?”
I am writing about this because, for real, I am getting not a few, but a lot, of readers who write me and ask me to do these things for them.
For those of you who do not know what I do, I live in Mexico with my beloved wife, Cynthia, and I write. I write books and I write articles and columns. I have had some modest success but not enough to say that I am well-known because I am most certainly not. Nor do I live in a mansion with an army of servants. We live in a one-bedroom apartment that my wife cleans herself.
People who do not know what is like to live in Mexico are understandably curious and want to know the skinny. That is why we wrote a book called, The Plain Truth about Living in Mexico. We wrote the book so that neither of us would have to repeat ourselves in answering untold e-mails which ask what has to be the most general question in the known universe, “What can you tell me about living in Mexico?”
Where would I possibly begin to answer this question for the scores who e-mail me? I wrote a few books that do just that.
I’ve met American tourists that are checking out the possibility of living here. They ask me what I do all day with my time. Now, that is a good question. It is good because if you move here to retire or simply live, you will have to come up with something to do or you will find yourself making a hasty retreat back from whence you came.
However, when I tell people what I do all day, you would swear that I had just told them that I engage in methodical serial killing. One guy said to me once, “Oh, I could never do that!” And another, “Oh, I would have to do something REAL with my time.”
Alrighty.
If you are wondering what it is I told them that garnered those responses it was this, “I sit in the park a lot.” And, I really do thata lot!
I get most of the material I write about when I sit in one of the many parks in this Central Mexican town. Perhaps that gives the appearance that I have nothing better to do with my time. Maybe these tourists go back and report this to others…others who write me with these assignments that they think I can do for them. Maybe they are thinking of my well-being. Since I am such a do-nothing schmuck, I must need some work.
I do not know. What do you think?
I am very grateful that people are reading my work. It makes me feel good and spurs me on to keep writing. I even had a travel book publishing company tell me that they will contact me later in the year to give me to write for them. They actually liked my writing enough to want to hire me. That is good.
But, for the record, dear readers, I do not interpret, translate, book hotels, pick you up at the airport, find you somewhere to live, run an Expatriation Mentoring Service, nor have the time to tell you how to move to Mexico or what it is like to live here.
I have written a few things you could check out at the bookstores if you really want to know.

Our Newest Book!
My wife and I, Americans living in Guanajuato, Mexico, have co-authored a BRAND NEW print and ebook titled, “Guanajuato Expatriation Guide Starting Your New Life in a Genuine Mexican Town”.
We feel there is no publication available anywhere that covers the material we do with our unique first hand experience at settling in Guanajuato, Mexico. And the need for what we say in this ebook is much needed.
Long time Expat residents of the other Mexican towns are now looking to Guanajuato to move since they are being priced out of the housing marketing in towns such as San Miguel de Allende. Also the cost-of-living in those traditional American Expat Enclaves has increased making it difficult for the expat to live. The issue is that living in the city of Guanajuato is nothing like living the Gringo Landias or Gringo Gulches of San Miguel de Allende or Puerto Vallarta.
