Thanks for checking out the new blog started by Todd & Stephanie to chronicle our adventures moving from our lovely home in Roscoe Village, Chicago, IL, to Zürich, Switzerland (please note correct use of the umlaut, which appears to be a necessary part of the German language).
Stephanie has spent months (years?) at Hyatt Hotels working to arrange an international job offer and transfer, which was finally signed by both parties this morning. Congratulations to her for the now-official promotion to Marketing Director-Europe, Africa and Middle East starting Nov 1, 2007, living in Zürich!
The 'Cheese, Chocolate and Rolexes' moniker was shamelessly stolen from my very good work friend, Jeff, among the few people there currently privy to our true status. More on that later.
That gives Steph and I less than 70 days to complete the following activities:
o Sell our beloved condo and automobile
o Do an Olympic distance triathlon (Todd)
o Run the Chicago marathon (Steph - she's crazy!)
o Host a wine party for 100+ people with our upstairs neighbor Gayle
o Find a place to live in Zürich
o Learn German (even though they speak a dialect of German in Zürich, not true German)
o Move 5,000 miles away
Thus this blog was created, for those interested in following everything that can go wrong before an international move and--hopefully in the future--also a dynamite resource for details of dayhikes near Zürich with a golden retriever.
Since Zürich is not a huge tourist destination, many people probably haven't seen it, but it looks like this (beer not included):
