Got this from a friend, who has visited us in Zurich and loved it so much, she thought you all might also like the experience. It's short notice, but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone considered coming to see us (or any of the other places on the list) Really great fares right now & you have a place to stay!

Hi Bryan & Cheryl,
Bryan, January 29, 2006 08:40 PM:I was telling Lauren about these great prices the other day. I decided to take a look at your site this morning, and saw your note. I actually thought about Lauren and I going to Zurich, and seeing if you two would mind our camping at your place for a few days while we enjoyed the sites. However, I decided it is too cold for me. With my old age I don't so well anymore in cold weather! I would love to go back and see Europe. I am sure it has changed so much since my high school days, only about 41 years ago!!!! I even thought Spring Break, but decided on a cruise. Ron doesn't get that many days off, so Lauren and I are going, as I like Ron to use his days off for a summer trip!! Anyway, prices are great. Lauren leaving for Hawaii tomorrow with some friends because of prices being so good, and the rain that just keeps pouring here is a bit depressing. I think it is so cool you two have this wonderful experience! You will always look back at it as a great opportunity you had. Hey, about those Seahawks, even I am excited about them, and I never even watched football! You two take care!
Hugs for both,
Lorraine & Ron
Well, if you ever change your mind you are certainly welcome to stay here, of course. Anybody is. There will be no formal invitations.
Go Seahawks!
