Keely's Day Rachelle and I decided not to ski today. The forecast was for a lot of snow and clouds, so we decided it would make for a good day to relax. We ate breakfast with the boys and then we took a couple of hours to read and relax before venturing out for the day. Midmorning we walked around town for a bit talking to some people about massage options, but then opted to go on a hike. We started out at about 11:45 on a hike that we thought would take us...

What a difference a day makes! The morning started with breathtaking views of Matterhorn from our room before heading down for an early breakfast. Keely's lesson started at 9 at the top of the Sonnega lift. After a quick bite we skied to the train that took us underground up the mountain! Keely went off with 3 other trainees and a trainer for a morning of learning good ski technique in the fresh powder. The views were absolutely spectacular. It feels h...

Today was the first day skiing and we woke up to fresh powder - tons of powder! We enjoyed a nice European breakfast of meats, cheeses and pastries and then it was off to the ski room to change. The hotel has a nice little room downstairs where we can store our skis, put our boots on the boot dryer and keep the mess and snow out of our room. Kevin, Jason and Rachelle planned to go skiing while Keely stayed back to check out the town. Since there was so much...

For the Switzerland portion of the trip, our friends Jason and Rachelle are joining us and we met up with them at the airport. Our flight from Chicago to Atlanta was nice a...

Today was a busy day exploring the big city of Bangkok. We started out the day making our way to the Royal Palace. We first had to navigate the SkyTrain, one of Bangkok's public transportation trains as we made our way there. It was quite easy and very clean. We had one transfer to get going in the right direction, and then it dropped us off right by the boat docks. Here we bought our ticket for the Chao Phraya Tourist shuttle. It's a series of river taxis ...
