Sunny Days Bed & Breakfast. Interlaken

So, Saturday I went on a school trip to Reideralp, a huge mountain with about three or four seperate resorts on it. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I was actually getting to warm throughout the day because the sun was shining on us. It was about a ten minute train ride to get to the mountain and then you have to take a ten minute gondola t...

I left the house at 5:15 am for my
initial flight from Lansing to Detroit. Capital City Airport at that
hour is very quit and I had no wait for security, I was patted down
and went through without problems.
I arrived in Detroit and headed to the
Skyclub for a two hour layover...

This morning we set out for the famous Swiss Alps. Think Sound of Music. Yes, I know that was set in Austria, but think of the setting nonetheless. We took a morning train from Zurich to Interlaken, where we would spend the night. The approach into the Alps was breathtaking. Technically it's breathtaking in more ways than one, because at the hig...

Interlaken

Interlaken is the place in Switzerland where everybody goes to hike in the mountains and para glide and sky dive, etc. I was never going to the hike or para glide or sky dive so I just came here to look at the mountains. Also all the cows wear bells which makes them look cute and has turned me off beef for a while.

Hi! It's Emily again, and I'm once again writing while sitting on the train. I won't have a chance to finish everything I want to write while I'm on here, but I'll at least start. We're on our way to Friedrichshafen, Germany, and the train ride won't take as long as it will for me to write this. Plus, I am trying to charge my phone some, so that...

She was fantastic and very patient and the...

From Eric... What's new? As you know, you spend your life waiting for one thing or another.When you are 10 years old, you can't wait until you get to 16. When you reach 16, you can't wait to get to 20.Then you get a job, you can't wait to get your first pay packet because you have been waiting to buy that camera that you always wanted.Then you g...

I left Dublin aright (I honestly have no recollection of what day or how long ago - guess i'm finally in the vacation mood:)) and got into Frankfurt Germany. I had been there before and really was in no mood to stay there - it's just a financial city to me. I thought I would have to spend the night there but I walked right to the train station i...

Met Miki, Bill and Betsy after an adventurous BA flight (the big BA baggage handler strike of Aug 2004) for a lovely time hiking and biking in Kandersteg, Interlochen, Grindewald, and Geissbach. Great trip...Met some nice other families (mainly US folk) and had a great celebration of mom and dad's 40th anniversary!

Well hello everyone!! I would first like to apologize for me taking so long to write my first entry. I have not really had internet access until a few days ago (when I started work) so I was unable to get this travelpod up and running. But it is now, so you all finally get to hear about how life in Switzerland is...YAY!! Hmmm....where should I s...
