STILETTO – a high pointed HEEL on a woman’s shoe or a small dagger.

WHEELS – a medieval instrument of torture or a vehicle for personal mobility.

There was loads of snow.  It was like being in a big snow globe when it actually snowed, and I love that.  

EaZyD only dropped me once in the ice and snow - not bad!  He also managed to lose the keys to the car while he was 'out skiing'.  After searching the slopes for 2 hours, we had to call out a break-in service.  They found the keys locked in the boot!  And, he left his credit card wallet in the hotel deli; again, this was kindly handed in by someone intact.  He did manage to ski and snowboard (sort of?) and stay in one piece.

Holiday tips from our first trip:  

Take your own lucky charm – mine is called EaZyD.  

Fly business class or better, always.  

NEVER try to use the toilet on a plane if you are paralysed – take short trips or pad up.  

Ski resorts can be quite good for wheelchair users.
