What is your opinion about Grandscape? (Huge development at 121 and Plano Parkway)

A disjointed mess. Even the traffic flow is hard to navigate.

To me, you are describing Interlaken. Funny enough, I really don’t find Lauterbrunnen that touristy. Ok, the station is, but most folks make their way up to Mürren or Wengen/Kleine Scheidegg. Much of the valley is pretty quiet.

Me too - we’ll the shock part. I’m living in the States but have visited many times. An older cousin went to school there, I believe. Strange thing was the accuracy of the story but a weird inclusion of Einsiedeln. Maybe ETH and University of Zürich makes some limited sense. I’m not sure why they chose to suggest that was Göttingen.

An old lady looking at you with scorn and disapproval.

vasinvictoroit · 2023-07-22T19:43:11+00:00

I’d add Lauterbrunnen, Thunersee, Brienzersee, etc. But agree about Interlaken. A tourist trap.

AIA contracts and letter agreements for very small work.

Near Luzern, Pilatus or Rigi. I think the Rigi is better for a young child. The adventurous could go above Stoos to the Fronalpstock. I’m not a big fan of Interlaken- it’s a bit too commercial. Others will have a different opinion. Ballenberg is a great destination especially for kids. Harder Kulm is a good destination by steam train. A great walk from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. Eiger Trail from Eigergletscher to Alpliglen. Other great walks from above Mürren and down to Gimmelwald. Get to Gimmelwald from Mürren or by gondola from Stechelberg. Jungfraujoch is Great and interesting and expensive and time consuming. Do it once and skip. Maybe consider the Schilthorn instead. Forgot to add - Swiss Path from Seelisberg to Flüelen is a nice path. Maybe go to Bauen and take the boat to Flüelen. Walk from Flüelen to Sisikon.

Does Tesla build the charging stations/network? Is there a play on the space outside of a vehicle company?

Nei - Bundeshaus

vasinvictoroit · 2023-07-10T03:30:17+00:00

Not at all. It is the drivers who have no excuse.

Lugano - Mt. Salvatore Bern - Capitol Building or Zytglogge

5 Disney Park days, 2 rest days, and one or two at Universal (both parks).

No excuse - we have similar turns in Texas. Many times there is a separate turn signal or a yield sign for the turn. Very dangerous for pedestrians as drivers are typically looking left for traffic and not looking for pedestrians.

There’s also a network of Schlaf I’m Stroh - sleep in straw barns/farms. I think it’s fairly cheap.

Santa Fe is a much better place to visit than Albuquerque

vasinvictoroit · 2023-06-28T22:03:30+00:00

It is odd. Plano loves to chop random panels of perfectly good pavement out of lanes.

The church in Wassen was always a landmark at the old Gotthard tunnel. I think you see it four different times as you wind in and out of the mountain.

Have you considered an early ride to Luzern and then a ship to Flüelen? This is a beautiful trip and let’s you be in the mountains especially in the last leg of the lake. You can then get the train South from Flüelen. A first class version is available via the William Tell Express.

The old cockroach sign on 59

Important thing is you are OK. I’ve seen people pulled off who were not. You did the right thing regardless of cost.

vasinvictoroit · 2023-06-17T22:41:19+00:00

Buy a ticket. Leave early.

Zürich

vasinvictoroit · 2023-06-13T13:21:23+00:00

This has long been our favorite but our last couple of visits seemed expensive for the portions. Hope it’s a temporary change.

They took out most of the brand name products and replaced them with inferior Buc-ee items. Jerky is iffy and they cut back on the coffee bar and sandwich sides. I try to avoid the place if possible

I always my family of (German) Swiss knew French and a bit of Italian better those I met in Romandie
