Actually a reformed Deadhead (remind me to show you my tattoo in hawaii) who has mellowed into a parrothead...Although I DID have to swear off tequila a couple of years ago (BAD tequila experience http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif )

Matt - I refer to my seperate email: crazy idea for march-8. If you didn't get my e-mail, please tell me (my provider just informed me, that emails are very late - till "a" problem is solved).

OK Matt - it is confirmed - see you on march-8 on your UA 1747 flight SJU-ORD (starting at the Amexco-lounge in SJU at about 14:45)!

OK Matt - seats 3 C & D are confirmed!

YAAAAHOOOOO!!! I'm looking forward to it!

Rudi,

Is it really less than 300 Km from Geneve to Lichtenstein? I've driven from Lichtenstein to Zurich before and it seemed pretty far. Perhaps that was because I was looping around lost in Chur for a while. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I take it you live in a Deutche Canton?

OH JOY! I get to ride the people mover at IAD again! MY life is complete:

04 Mar UA 7523 EWR-IAD 06:00-07:46
UA 7546 IAD-EWR 19:30-20:47

:) CATMAN :)

stimpy: Geneva-Chur-Lichtenstein - that's about like going LAX - SNA with a SAN detour!

nice try / but very delicate theme: "Deutscher Kanton" = "german county" (that's what a former northern neibhour of Switzerland, who wanted to create a 1'000 year lasting empire, called our country). Correct is that I live in the "swiss-german speaking part of Switzerland".

Sorry, I didn't mean to cast aspertions. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I've always been fascinated by Switzerland. I thought the cantons were generally referred to as Italian, German or French?

So which Canton do you reside in?

Sprechen Sie Raeto Romanic?

CH 8142 Uitikon-Waldegg (Kt. Zuerich)
and
CH 3823 Wengen (Kt. Bern)

there are four language REGIONS and 25 full (or with the half cantons of Basel-Land/Stadt, Nid- and Obwalden, and Inner- and Outer-Appenzell: 28) Cantons.

the regions are called (german / french version):
Deutschschweiz / Suisse allémanique
Westschweiz / Suisse romands (cantons Genève, Vaud, Jura, Neuchàtel, parts of Fribourg, parts of Valais, parts of Berne)
*Südschweiz / Suisse italienne (canton Tessin)
*Reatoromanische Schweiz / Suisse raetoromain / Svizzera Rumantsch (in their own language): spoken in parts of the Canton Graubünden / Grison (with Chur as capital and St. Moritz and Davos as world famous resorts)

State languages are: German (about 60%), French 30%, Italian (9%), Romantsch (1%).

Rudi, it may look crazy to some, but isn't it wonderful! I'll be thinking of you and Matt with Planters Punches firmly in hand on the 8th.

Rudi/AnaS -

I will be in Chicago on Sat March 6th (living it up for my 27th). I was planning on returning to IND Sunday morning, but...

Anyone who can get the email address/profile feature of this thing to work, please send me Rudi's email.

Thanks!
