We asked for instructions from our hotel. This is what they said:

Hello,

When you arrive in Lauterbrunnen, look for a beautiful tall waterfall at the southern edge of town. Go in that direction down the main street (you are already on it, it is the only one in town). Continue through town and after 500 meters you will see our hotel on the left. If you pass the church you have gone too far.
See you soon!

We’re excited about staying here now. :)

I’ve never been much of a blogger… actually, I am very much not a blogger. The whole concept is actually quite foreign, so I figured I would write an entry while I was still in familiar territory :) So here I am! Hello all! I am Amy! Hear me roar!!

I’ve been working on having all the necessary documents and information ready for the trip. I probably printed out 300 pages worth of information… I will be binding it tomorrow! And that’s only for the first half! Brian suggested that we split it up into two and work on the second half while we’re there. Probably because I was driving myself crazy with it… :) We’ll see if it’s useful and then we’ll know if it’s worth the effort for Volume 2.

So sleepy! I think I will head to bed now. Good night all! Have a great Tuesday :)

PS: If you ever consider going to Kinkos to print out a file, it’s 49 cents for a black and white page. It’s sort of ridiculous when you have a 250 page document and when using printer ink, as expensive as it is, would be saving you money if you printed it from home. Copying in black and white is 8 cents, though :)
