"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

Off to Switzerland

Hi Friends and Family!

I'm off again to see another part of this amazing world while I still can. This year it’s Switzerland. The central focus for this trip is hiking. I’ve always wanted to hike the Swiss Alps, that’s the goal. Check one more off of the “Bucket List.” I’ll fly into Zurich, and circle around the country staying in Switzerland the whole trip. There is much to see. Switzerland is a beautiful, scenic country with a remarkable transportation system to get you around. Another 5 World Heritage sites are on my list. Medieval castles, views of Glaciers, lakes, snow topped Alpine mountains all connected by one of the world’s best train systems. Zurich, St. Gallen, Luzern, Interlaken, Locarno, Lugano, St. Moritz, Montreux, and nearly a dozen classic Swiss Alps hikes are on my list. Let’s see how many I can catch.

I'll try to post to the blog including some pictures every couple of days. Check back and travel with me! Click on the posted pictures for a larger view. Past weekly postings can be found in the "archives" here on the blog along with some postings from my prior trips.

We’ll see you on the road!! If you can drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you:
