Ahem....eerrrr....don't get me started....:rolleyes: ;) :D

Thanks Gini! Now I know for sure and I can tell my mom with authority what a babushka is. Hmmm....wonder what a Busha really is? :confused:

Are there no typically Swiss drinks?

---

Hmmm.....since there are so many cows.......milk? :confused: I also think of beer, but that's German and when you think of wine you think of France, so I'm not sure.....:confused:

It's a little cold here for that Swiss Lemonade we had last week, so I think I'll stick to the hot chocolate with some sort of spike added to it. I'm not a big peppermint fan, and I think Baileys would make it too sweet (and besides, Slick's not here so we ran out of Baileys....Slick...where are you?) so I'm not sure what sort of spike....is there maybe some sort of cherry liqure (how do you spell that anyway, not liquor, but lickure :rolleyes: ). I'm heading home now so you guys hold down the fort.

Last I saw Mario he was riding that rescue St Bernard like a horse! :eek:

Here is my retirement home, but I believe this is actually in France.....if I remember correctly, or maybe Germany....same trip but we could be either in Switzerland, France or Germany within an hour - so we did!

---

I was checking that one out for Donna and myself!

I think we can offer you Schnapps or Kirsch..........if Richard made sure it was a "full" bar.

Hello every one !

Did I hear thare was a bar full Schnapps?:D

I would take one!:p

I'd love to have some hot chocolate! With marshmellows please! Unless Mario ate them all already... O_O'


Are we there yet??
*sighs*


Do we get to watch any movies on the plane ride like on some airplanes? Hmm... do we get internet connection up here? I'm having internet withdrawals... >.<
Must... log on... to.. PT... O_O

Hey! Where did my 'puter mouse go? O_o I don't suppose someone brought their kitty with them too, did they? I want my mousie back! :( *looks around*

Are we there yet???
Are there cows in Switzerland?
Do we get to pet the cows? :D
Maybe I can bring home a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.. hehe... :D Or maybe a cow... *grins*

Ann, where have you been? I guess there is whatever you want unless Mario has got into it.

Where is Andy? Is he lurking around here somewhere? Did he have a happy birthday on halloween?

Think I'll take a Schnapps too!

I'm with you, Di, I wonder if we are there yet! We sound like the Smurfs. " Are we there yet, Papa Smurf?" LOL, I always love the Smurfs!

Willie:D

LOL! :D Or like the Animaniacs song:
"Are we there yet?
I'm tired.
I'm hungry.
How far?
My nose is snotty
Need to move my body
Gotta use the potty
Better stop the car."
:D Or in this case... plane... But I don't think it would be a good idea to stop the plane in mid-air... O_O'

Its to bad Slick is so busy at work she'd love this trip.

Hi Willie and hugs! hehehe mario is over here digging in my pockets :eek:

He thinks Sipoweitze is hideing in my pockets. Sipoweitze is siting on mario's head.... ;)

Hi Corina, and BC Blondie and hugs .

:)

Hey where have you been I haven't seen you in a while. Glad you managed to catch our flight.
How about some more of those potatos in the cheese.

hi everyone,

I have a head cold and it sucks.....


I hope you all are having a good time and i'll be back soon...

Did someone say cheese?? I still can't find my mouse... :confused: :(
Where's the kitty? :mad:

Oh hey amoore! Glad to see you on the flight too! :D It sure is a long flight!
*sighs*
Are we there yet??

Richard, I hope you feel better soon! I hear tea helps colds, and lots of rest! :)

Hey, I made it a field trip with Nikki & Daisy so that Mario would have two new playmates!!

Gosh Nikki and Daisy re good travellers aren't they? Just sitting there reading the in flight magazine.

Karen, they're acting like seasoned travelers! I didn't know they could read!!

amoore, please assure Sipowietze we will NOT be stopping in France and he doesn't have to worry about anyone snatching his legs. Kahlua isn't very Swiss but it does go great with hot chocolate. Nikki and Daisy are FAR to sweet to bother your mousie BCBlondie. That Swiss fondue goes so well on this dank, rainy, dreary day, I'm glad we are flying high above it. I have an old recipe from the "Eat It" cookbook (written by Sherrie Krumb and illustrated by R Krumb) for Aunt Betsy's anti-snirk tea Richard. Just what the Dr ordered for head colds. Let me brew you a cup... poor dear.

Laurie, do you have any catnip tea on board? i think my two girls can use it!

Well I have tea, and allllways have catnip in my bag so catnip tea shouldn't be much of a reach. How's the knee in this damp cold David? Do you now have a built in barometric pressure reader? I think some nice hot buttered cornbread and crispy, thick sliced bacon would make happy tummies this morning. A wee bit difficult in the small kitchen we're working with but where there's a will there's a way. OUCH, watch your elbows! This kitchen is small!!!

Laurie, It feels like I have a weather channel built in! I don't have to turn the t.v. on to know if it's damp or raining.

I think I'll take a cup of coffe this morning.

Where is Slick, I really miss her when she's not around! She can't be working that much. Laurie where is she?

Slick where are you?????????

Willie:)

Maybe she's putting on her Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy outfit and has gone to take care of Richard's cold? Ohhhh Sliiiiiiick :confused:

Sorry guys, but I'm just not in the party mood. Dealing with some "stuff" but everyday gets better. Enjoy your flight and I'll see you next week. :(

Good morning all . Wow look out at these Mountain peaks. Looks a lot like home . Hey whats on the in flight breckfast. I sure could use something, Maybe cresants and Nutella.

From my experience, breakfast is usually a smorgasboard with everything from sliced meat and cheese and buns to make a sandwich to tomatoes with olive oil sprinkled over them with mozzarella cheese. Yes, I know we're talking about breakfast, but that's what they have! They also have things like doughnuts and cereal and stuff, but I always thought they put that out for the American tourists. ;) They also have muesli which I absolutely LOVE!!!

Here's a link to check it out. Even though this place is in Canada, it looks the same as the breakfasts we've had in Switzerland. All looks pretty yummy if you ask me! :)

Oh I DO LOVE Muesli too! My mom used to buy it a lot. WOW, haven't thought of that in years. Gee Whiz, guess what I'm going to pick up next time I go to the store ... I hope they still have it, I know they used to. Boy, quite a quiet plane ride so far.. must be the flight attendents' special complimentary drinks. Let's play a game! Or have a sing-along! Karioke anyone :rolleyes:

Click on the "entertaining clip" about mid page. :D :D

Oh, stop it! I can't sit here all day and just giggle - I have to get some work done!

Just too funny - yodeling lessons - who woulda thunk it! Right here in the comfort of my own home (plane).

hi kids....
I just woke up to go to the b-room and get a snack....and then I hear Gini yodeling.....

ANd she lives about 16 miles away from me.....:D


I just stopped in for a second.....I am feeling better but I am just tired.....

I'll see you guys back at the airport terminal..

What was that you said Richard??? Give me a minute while I take my earplugs out. That yodelling can get a bit much in a confined space.

:( Sorry you feel so bad Richard. Surely we must be at the air terminal by now! We have been on his flight for days!!

Oh oh they are wheeling the steps up the the door, we can get off! Hooray!! Smell that fresh air!

Driver crashed while eating muesli

A German woman caused £15,000 of damage when she tried to eat a bowl of muesli while driving her car.

Julia Bauer, 21, from Bochum, laid out a bowl, a packet of muesli, a pint of milk and a spoon on the passenger seat before climbing in to the driver's seat and setting off.

She then attempted to make her breakfast on her way to work but lost control of the vehicle when she reached out to stop her bowl from tipping over.

"The young driver ended up spoiling more than just the car seat when she swerved and crashed into a parked car and a lamppost," said a police officer.

"She could have gone on a two-week holiday at a five-star hotel with breakfast included for this much money."

-------------------------------------
I read this story last week...When T&P hits the road...look out!!!!


I want to thank everyone who made this week's trip a success....I am feeling better and hope no one else gets this kind of cold.....feels like my head was stuck in cement.....

Hopefully we'll be back to our full service bar this week!!!

I don't think this was T&P, she is far too clever to do something like that. Besides, wasn't Mario driving :eek: I don't think I'm getting your head cold Richard, I think it's just jet lag. My ears are a wee bit stopped up. Hot Toddy's will fix us right up. With a hey nonny nonny and a hot cha cha Can't wait to see what's on this weeks agenda :p

Nope, weren't me! I would have had the bowl in my lap where it ccouldn't tip over. ;) :rolleyes: :D
