Well...here we are in Switzerland. The weather has been decent, and surprisingly there's no snow on the ground (plenty in the mountains though.) First off, the kids did great on the flight over. Our original flight got delayed by 2 hours on Monday, which would have prevented us from making our connection in New Jersey headed for Zurich. So instead we were rerouted on Lufthansa on a flight from Dallas to Frankfurt, and then a flight from Frankfurt to Zurich. The kids did great despite the long hours on the plane. They both slept a bit, watched plenty of movies, and played their video games. We finally landed in Zurich and got a taxi out to our temporary housing, which sits next to Lake Zurich. Coincidentally our friends the McGaughs are also staying in the same building for the time being, so last night we all had pizza and shared travel stories. Today we met with our relocation coordinator (Jacquelyn) who took us to City Hall to apply for our residency permits, and then she gave us a tour of the grocery store so we would know what is what, and what is different compared to the States.
So that's about it for now. We're just taking it day by day. The kids are doing great despite the time difference (6 hours) and we've all been trying to adjust our sleep schedules. Next Monday is when school starts so I hope they'll be adjusted by then.
