For the April 22nd, I was thinking on trying to take the train back Friday night, as I have a training on Saturday and I can save money on hotel. There's a train leaving Zurich at 22:09 that I'll try to catch. That should leave enough time for dinner.

You've got to really watch out that you leave enough time for the trek back to the station, with a little margin built in. Unlike the way I did it, you need to start your goodbyes a bit earlier. The other tip is, assuming you'll be eating at the same place or in the same part of town, is to try and aim for the middle cross underpassage of the station rather than heading all the way down to the front of the station. This is a passage that crosses under about halfway up the platforms and leads over to Sihlquai.
Unfortunately there is no way I'll make the 22nd April because I have to conduct a performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Geneva that night.

Thanks. Unfortunately if I miss that train the next train won't be until 6 in the morning.
I'll make sure to keep my time padded.

Yes and it was very nice of you to invite me along to it. I just wish I could have stayed for longer!
I, too, can't make the 22nd, or the one after that (27th May if I remember correctly).

dinoscool, if worst would come to worst on the 22nd, you could crash my place in Schwyz. Would be a bit a detour, but at least no need to pay a hotel :-)
