Off to Switzerland
Monday May 30th, we sailed off for a new adventure. Getting everything ready was a big whirlwind but somehow we finished everything. We left Copper with Mom, our house with Joe, and only had our suitcases to claim for two months. That day seemed unreal as we packed up our home and prepared for two months in Switzerland, not really knowing what to expect. With several breaks of sitting and looking at each other and saying, "I can't believe we are doing this," we finally were able to finish.
Mom, Kadin, and Porter dropped us off at the airport to embark on our journey, a flight that left AZ at 3:25 pm. From Arizona to Minneapolis, being in the air was cake. After reaching Minneapolis we had to then fly to Amsterdam, Netherlands. As Brett would say, "One of the longest flights he has ever been on." Fortunately I found some sleep, but Brett not so lucky. We were slammed into the middle three across middle seats with nothing to lean on but each other and the tray in front of us. We made it to the Netherlands and had our first look at Dutch country. My first steps in Europe. It was cloudy but beautiful. We walked around awhile and waited for our flight to Zurich to arrive. The plane ride to Zurich was a little disappointing. We were excited to have a bird's eye view of Switzerland as we flew in but all we saw were thick rain clouds. We didn't see the ground until we were practically landing. It was very cold when we exited down the stairs of our small airplane to a bus which escorted us to luggage and on to meet our home giver of two months, Heinz. Brett's first encounter with German came as we were exciting the luggage claim and were caught by customs. The exchange struggled, but we made it out. Heinz was waiting for us.
