As your previous responder commented and like all insurance, it is great to have it if needed and provides important medical coverage. We had to cancel our 2007 trip within three days of leaving. They were easy to deal with. We did learn something t…

"Baby" left a message for probably everyone on the Cafe. It was a spamer soliciting you for sex. So I guess it is just as well you missed it. The techies and system that take care of the Cafe were able to delete it all fairly quickly. I just happene…

Thanks Ginny. Since we got to eat the food as well as photograph it, we enjoyed making this one. Our weeks this year, mid June - mid July, were fairly cool and rained a lot. We did wear shorts a few days. The weeks earlier and since have been warmer…

The Rockies are not Switzerland but we had fun and the scenery was nice. It was the Elk Rutting season too. P.S. I still prefer Switzerland.

One of the special things about visiting the Swiss Heartland is the great food day in and day out. Pictures of food may sound crazy but we wanted to remember them and just got caught up in it all. This is about 4 1/2 minutes of food.

I'll be heading to the Swiss Heartland later this month and was wondering what to expect in terms of costs for dining out. In US dollars, what might a typical lunch or dinner out run for a couple?

New Cheese Making Trip a Winner

Monday June 22, 2009

Kudos to Connie Sullivan for finding and starting a new cheese making trip location at Glaubenbielen Jänzimatt out of Giswil. It is operated by a charming family, farmer Adrian Riebli, wife Heidi, and four children, one below school age which we met. We were in the first official trip today. They had a trial run last year but we count as Charter Members I think. It was a good group to go today because the weather was not good to say the least and everyone was game and were… Continue

The First Three Days to get here

Friday, June 19, 2009 5:53 AM

Our return to the Swiss Heartland is started.

Tuesday 6/16/09 - Since our plane from Washington Dulles does not leave till 6:00pm we should be able to sleep late and have a relaxing day. So, what the heck, we are up and awake at 4:15am!! We are through security and at the gate aout 3:30pm and sitting on the plane by 5:30pm. I had noticed that the last few days the flight to Zurich had been leaving about five minutes early and arriving up to 45 minutes early. That… Continue

Reading "Heidi" created a dream finally fulfilled

Marian is a friend and neighbor. One evening we were talking about our upcoming trip to Switzerland to start the middle of May 2008. She told us that after reading "Heidi" at nine years old she had two dreams. One was to have a daughter named Heidi, which she does, and the other was to actually visit Switzerland which she had not. We told her that she could come along with us when we go. We were staying in Chalet Berit and Studio Albert was available so it would all work out great. So that is wh… Continue

First attempt so will get started

All over the world Bloggers are Blogging and Twitterers are Tweeting so I thought we should try our hand at joining the noise. At least this is a site where we can talk about one of our favorite subjects and leave notes about a trip we are on or some trip in our past.

We are now only 12 days from getting on United flight 936 non-stop from Washington Dulles to Zurich to start our four week stay at Chalet Berit in Sachseln. It will be the usual warm and happy feeling when we step off the train an… Continue

Hello, Marge and Bill. Of course I know who you are. Bob and my mom spoke/speak of you often! I am sorry that we will be passing each other in the airport. Our flight arrives in Zurich at 15:45 on July 15. This is likely to be a very memorable summer: My 13-yr-old-son, Bill, leaves on July 6 for Japan (week + jr high exchange program); my 11-yr-old daughter, Mary and husband leave for cross-country train trip to Chicago and then to Memphis for a week; my 18-yr-old-son, Charles, leaves for Boot Camp in Chicago for 8 weeks and then to "Nuke School" with the Navy. In there somewhere I'll be in Sachseln for two weeks with my mom. I am looking forward to seeing Albert - and visiting Berit's grave. It's nice that that their beautiful cemetary is so close to home. Hope to see you in the airport! Carol
