Oh boy my first ski trip! I was so excited I could hardly sleep the night before; because I felt anxious all night. I had seen movies and television programs of people gliding down the sides of mountains on skis; it looked dangerous but fun at the same time. My dad was a skier and for my 7th birthday present this year he promised to take me to the mountains and teach me to ski. However how big where these mountains and where were they? Therefore I wanted to be prepared for the Three hour journey so I set my alarm for 5:00 o’clock in the morning, and I wanted to be prepared for the special ski journey.
