We still aren't 100% set on an itinerary, but focused on taking the train from Lugano to Cinque Terra. We arrive in Zurich Friday, same day our daughter heads off to Paris for the weekend! We told her to go with her classmates and have fun, it's her experience, we'll see her Monday after class! We plan to check out Lugano our first day/night and want to drop a suitcase of STUFF off at our daughters dorm so we'll only have our backpacks. She goes to Africa in a few weeks so we'll bring home some clothes etc she doesn't need there. Planning Saturday to Monday in Italy?....that way we can spend our last weekend in the Swiss Alps, puts us closer to Zurich for flight home. Now to figure out purchasing train passes, ugh!


the train travel is simply incredible ....took a fast train from Italy to the French Riviera or azure coast and thought I was in heaven ...you will have a blast...each time I travel to Europe I come back asking myself...why the heck to I live in the frozen north <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
