To have a wonderful Latvian holidays in Austrian Alps, one should rent a min-van and set off 48h before the begining of the holidays, cross at least 3 countries and spend a lot of time listening to the same CD. Make sure that the van is loaded with : people [ preferably family members, but can also be friends, work colleagues etc.], skis and many, many, many bags. THE MOST ESSENTIAL thing is FOOD [cause you never know if there will be any in the Alps after the 48h drive and cold winter]. Pack at least a box of granny's made jams, pickles and mushrooms, 10kg of potatos, box of beer, 5kg of smoked meat, onions, garlic, sugar, rice, semolina...basically go in a shop and get one of everything. Make a lot of sadwiches and make sure your wife also cooks some meat balls for the road, peals and cuts fresh vegetables, and packs all the cutlery, glasses and plates!!!
And once you finally reach Austria, which is the destination country [despite the fact that you still have to drive for about 600km], visit local supermarket and get vine and more beer...and start drinking and make sure that even the driver gets some drinks!!! Be merry and keep a positive mind, even when you realised that your booked holiday appartment is far up above the city, on a tinny mountain side road, with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom for 8 people.
I had forgotten for a while, what it means to travel with my family on a skiing holidays! Every meal is like Christmas dinner and the general idea is to be keep the alcohol level in the blood even at all times! :) Start a day with a glass of champagne and you will have a sparkling day! I might miss breakfast tomorrow! :)
