Vacation-moon: Switzerland

September 21, 2009

I’ve only been at work a week and a day and yet our vacation-moon already feels ten million years away.

I’m so sorry to have left you all hanging for so long but, well, the same thing happened to me after this vacation as after our wedding last November. I’d been looking forward to it and planning it for so long that when it was finally over, all I could do was flop in an exhausted heap on the couch – and not so much from physical exhaustion either (though let me tell you, that 9 hour jet lag sure packs a punch), but more from mental exhaustion.

You see, my mind is still sifting through memories and I’m fighting with myself as to the best way to share them. The unhappy consequence is that I get myself all in a tizzy and end up sharing nothing at all. Do you ever do that? I feel like I do it a lot. Seriously, if you know a way to fix this let me know.

Anyway.

Maybe some of those stories will make it on here one day and maybe not. But the least I can do in the meantime is share some photos*.

Here’s Part I – Our trip to Switzerland for a friend’s wedding

And the same night, a few hours later? We were on our way back to Geneva to catch a flight to Barcelona.

* I really, really, regret not bringing our D-90 camera with us. We thought it would get annoying to babysit all the time, especially on the cruise portion of our trip, but {sigh} as you can see by these pictures, we should have taken it. I’m mentioning this in case you’re having the same dilemma yourself. Just take it – sure it’ll be annoying at the time but that’s better than being annoyed for the rest of your life when you look at your photos.

    Wowza! Switzerland looks exactly how I imagined it – postcard perfect. Your dress looked perfect for that beautiful wedding too :)

    I have the same problem when sharing trips/recaps etc. The only advice I have is to jump right into it :)

    Switzerland is on our travelling to-do list! It looks awesome – and I agree with the babysitting the camera thing. Family members complain when I lug my gear around – and then they see the pictures! ;)
