"I&amp;#039;ve gotten to do a lot of amazing things since coming to college \u2014 from trying to swing dance, to seeing the Dalai Lama, to helping plan a 24 hour dance marathon. Another awesome opportunity just happened! Seven of my friends and I decided that, since we had a 3-day weekend, we would take a ski trip to Vail, Colorado. Six of us were pretty good skiers, one person was a great snowboarder, and one person had never skied before, but it ended up being a perfect group for the trip.   We had SO much fun spending every day on the mountain. I hadn&amp;#039;t skied in two years, and it was great to get back out again. My roomie, Bonnie, and I spent the first day teaching our friend Deanna how to ski, and by the third day she looked like a pro. At night, we hung out in the house and had a great time. I was friends with everyone in the group of course, but they&amp;#039;re not all people that I see every day, so it was great to spend lots of time together.   So, the trip was great! BUT it was NOT great trying to get home! First, we got stuck in traffic due to a snowstorm and it took us 6 hours(!) to get to the airport, so we missed our flights :( Luckily, a really, really nice United Airlines rep got me and Bonnie on the first flight out the next morning. But that meant we were stuck in Denver for an extra night! We did an awesome job getting everything together, though, if I do say so myself :) We found a free shuttle to a local hotel, made a reservation (and got a discount!) and were on the plane home before we knew it. We got back to campus just after 9 A.M. the next day, and by 10 A.M., I was sitting in my physics class. Crazy! But it was an adventure, and now we know what to do if we&amp;#039;re ever stranded again! XO, Casi Do you guys have any crazy travel stories? Let me know!
