All Inclusive

I am about to commit what many may consider a cardinal sin. I plan on going on an inclusive holiday (hence the corny all inclusive resort image above).

It’s cheap! I can’t help it. I want to go skiing this winter. I only went one day last season. So I started looking around for various trip options. Pretty much everything I found was significantly more expensive. Also, I generally love traveling alone, but skiing is one of those times where a group really counts for something. It’s just more fun to ski with other people and then hang out in a bar or hot tub after a long day on the slopes.

I think the reason I’m opposed to all inclusive trips is their association in my mind with US spring break trips, where college students destroy their livers, a couple of hotel rooms, and the resorts manicured beach for a few days. Hopefully this all inclusive ski trip will be a bit different from that, and I’ll have a good time skiing and exploring the French Alps.

I apologize here and now to my fellow adventurers and the adventure gods for this tragic transgression.
