So, it’s been nearly a whole month since I signed off and I still don’t have a computer. But, we arrived in beautiful Switzerland Wednesday afternoon and we are in love with the place.
More precisely, we’re in love with the holidays. My husband (who had been here for a month, but came to the states for meetings and to fly with us, so I didn’t have to do an international flight with two small children), had to go into the office for a meeting that afternoon. He arrived home shortly after 5:00 with unexpected news: Sunday is Easter.
Now, you all know that. I know that. What we didn’t know was that meant that Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday are all holidays. Time off work that doesn’t count against his 6 weeks of vacation.
Ahh, so happy to be in Switzerland.
’bout time you came back. I missed your sage wisdom.
Here in America, we denounce your happiness as the result of eeeeevil socialism…
EHL! So glad to see you back and posting!
What you Americans call laziness and nonchalance, we Europeans call lifestyle and Dolce Vita… =)
Welcome to “old” Europe.

And chocolate. Don’t forget Swiss chocolate.
Great to have you back.
The downside of such generosity will become apparent the first few times you try to go shopping when the stores are “required” to be closed. However, it is easy enough to adapt, as long as you choose to do so.
To follow up on Wally Bock’s thought. Mars and Hershey’s will never be of use to you again if you start eating Swiss chocolate.
Really nice to have you back and especially answering all those 400+ questions so I don’t have to. Plus, you’re way funnier than me.

Can’t believe you didn’t want to do that international flight by yourself with ONLY two children 😉
Americans don’t get Good Friday and Easter Monday as public holidays?
seriously??
wow – just makes me love australia that little bit more
Aussie HR Girl…I was thinking exactly the same thing!
I’m so jealous you are in Switzerland! Ahh, a country where they care about their employees and benefits!
