Ha That's funny. Well here it has been hot, hot and more hot! We are still in the 100's and it's October! Argh! I guess the grass is always greener on the other side--but in this case the grass is definitely greener in Switzerland! Well, enjoy your stay--I won't be here--I will be in Turkey!

Yesterday I would have said GO FOR IT! Today, though, the State Department put out a warning for Italy that is supposed to go through the next month. You may want to review it at www.state.gov before you make your decision.

We canceled! <BR> <BR>I am sick about it...over a year of planning, reading searching ....but I feel that they ruined our vacation already....we would be apprehensive and looking over our shoulders...searching for English news and overall not having the wonderful relaxing time we had planned. We were able to cancel the flight pretty uneventfully....but will await possible hotel cancellation charges at 6 different places!!! <BR>Thanks for all the advice.....K
