We almost had all of our bags packed and ready to go, but a few last minute items, and we all went and finished that chore before the two cabs showed up to take us to the local airport, Once they showed up we loaded up our bags and our skis and gear, and they took us to the local airport for a commuter flight which in turn flew us to catch our plane at Chicago O’Hare, for our flight to Zurich. I think this time my mom decided that she could not buy any expensive gifts for Kate, so she realized the biggest gift she could give Kate would be her permission to sleep in my bed. I knew the Hotel was expensive, and it looked like we were in for an awesome experience.
