Swiss Army Post



















Here's a friday five:

1. What is (or would be) your dream vacation?

The next one on my list is to visit my bro in Warsaw.

2. What's one thing no vacation can do without?

Comfy shoes and a meal at McDonald’s

3. What has been the best trip of your life so far?

Ten day driving trip around Switzerland

4. Who was with you on that trip and what is the role of that person in your life?

Mr. FizzyLizzy, who surprised me with his awesome European driving skills.

5. What's the worst thing that can happen during a vacation?

It’s a super hot day and you are rushing back to your hotel on foot to make your dinner reservation on time; you are pouring with sweat and can’t get your room unlocked because your hands are so slippery. (We can laugh now, right Mr. FL?)

OR

Taking the back road into Liechtenstein and being stopped by Swiss military personnel. If you’re the driver you might be pretty calm, but your wife may be peeing her pants and yelling, “Turn around! Turn around!” as you are approaching them.

Comments:
1. I want to go back to the Grand Canyon and try walking on that new plexiglass (?) walkway over the canyon. I went to the GC with my mom when I was 20 and LOVED it.
2. Soap and not ice-cold water for bathing. (Headed for the BWCA in a few weeks.)
3. Ragbrai. A week-long bike ride across Iowa. Who knew riding a bike across Iowa (with 10,000+ riders) would be so heavenly?
4. Mr. Bickerson. His job is loving me and tearing down the tent every morning.
5. Your tent can almost fly away with the tumbling porto-pots in a 1 a.m. tornado on Ragbrai! But....you live! And you are ETERNALLY grateful to the nursing home staff and residents who let you and your campmates ride out the storm in the halls of the facility.
