Heading to Switzerland
Hi All,
Just wanted to do a quick posting to update our readers on whats going on. For the next couple of weeks Miel and I will be writing from Switzerland! When we first thought about the prospect of having a long distance marriage we both recognized the need to see each other frequently.
From a strictly financial point of view, vacations in Switzerland don't make a whole lot of sense. It makes less sense given the weakening US dollar and the current timing in the middle of my academic semester. However, its important to balance our financial goals with the opportunity to see each other again - its difficult to hold down a marriage without this kind of healthy contact. So, even though its going to be hard on our pocketbooks, it makes sense to go to somewhere picturesque like Switzerland where we can reconnect away from our respective busy lives.
So, even though its not the greatest from a strictly financial standpoint, going to Switzerland like its a good investment in keeping our relationship emotionally healthy. Mostly I'm just happy to see my wife again.
Best,
James

I hope you have a wonderful time together!
I think you're doing the right/best thing for you and Miel, for all the reasons you stated so far. Have a wonderful time in Switzerland. I hear the landscape is stunning ;). Oh and I'm a regular reader but this is my first comment. Thanks for putting out concise, helpful, and interesting posts for all of us.
Oh man I'm jealous. I highly highly recommend visiting the Interlaken region. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and its a great place to just get away from it all.
Hi Derek - We are currently in Interlaken and having a fabulous time! We are headed up to the mountains in the morning. Otherwise the most splendid weather you can imagine! :-)
Miel & James
