I'm posting the Switzerland blog to a different location than this one. The interface for the Blogspot site is a bit less time consuming than here and when on vacation, as we all know, time is of the essence.

Hopefully we'll have Internet access at each of our hotels, although, one is advertised at "TV Free", so we'll see. If so, I'll be posting regular updates as the trip unfolds along with lots of pictures and perhaps video. I'm also going to attempt to post the GPS logs overlaid on Google Earth maps for some of the walks/hikes we take.

If you decide to follow along don't forget to leave a comment or two for posterity. We're both really excited about this trip but the relative lack of Fools is something we'll feel. Hopefully, a little virtual interaction from you all, through comments on the blog, may help to assuage that!

Hope to see you there.

We're finally making some progress on the plans for our March Switzerland trip. Although, it should be noted that finding and booking hotels in the Swiss Alps during the ski season is far from being easy.

We've decided to split our time between the "High Country" and the "Low Country." Or, in non-Swiss, we'll spend four nights in a small town in the Alps and three nights in the valley city of Lucerne.

We'll make day trips from each of these locations which, from what I've been reading in numerous Switzerland travel books I collected from the library, should be easy given the excellent train and transportation systems in place in the country.

We've really narrowed our hotels down to two at this point:
