Drum roll please…

Let’s hear it for my photographer and very own personal assistant (p.a.).

“If you live to be a hundred, I hope to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live a day without you.” – Winnie the Pooh

In this final post of our adventures, I have to give props to Murph. This guy spent endless hours researching and planning this marvelous trip. He booked 19 different hotels, B&Bs or Inns. He prearranged bike hires, car hires, & train trips (on one leg alone we had 6 different transfers to get from Colmar to Pontresina). He also reserved tickets for us to tour the Palace, attend the Paul McCartney exhibit and travel on the Bernina Express. He researched the best option for trains and cable cars throughout Switzerland (half fare cards served us well!). Oh yes, I should mention that he took a ton of great pictures – which made my “job” both easy & difficult. Easy because I had so many to choose from and difficult because I had so many from which to choose.

He even takes pictures while on the train! (How’s this for a rather surreal pic?)

That’s it folks! A big thank you to everyone that commented on my posts – I realize several of you had problems with the site and I plan to contact them to see if I can get that corrected. But many of you texted or sent emails to let me know you were watching and I seriously appreciate all of your input – so thank you ❌⭕️ Until next time, take care.

  8. It does take a lot of plannings for a two-month trip across multiple countries. Murph deserves the credits but he won’t have much motivation doing it without you, Barbara 😀
