Snow Tubing at Nashoba Valley, MA

If driving for an hour accounts to 'travel' then this trip was one. After trying sledding in Flagstaff, AZ, I wanted more snow play activities before closing curtain on this winter. After much procrastinating, I finally decided to go to snow tubing. I actually planned to go on weekdays to avoid crowds, but as it happened I went on Sunday -- Super Bowl Sunday. Given that Patriots were playing, the snow tubing was practically empty -- got a lot of rides than the typical average (as told).
There is something joyous and enjoyable to activities where you come down a slope. Some of my memorable experiences are doing this activities in water, on road and now -- snow. Typically, you buy a two hour ticket and by the end of it (or even before) you are pretty exhausted. Should try at least once!

Flight and Full Moon

Recent travel meant that I had to take an early morning flight. Incidentally it was a full moon day. Till it lasted, it was a great experience to see the full moon on the horizon above the clouds. Just awesome! Of all my time doing air travel, I will probably remember this for sometime. Wish I had nice way of capturing it -- but plane's windows! So, next time I look for flights, not only I have to look for good deals but also have to check if it is a full moon!
