We leave Tuesday for Geneva. There are three of us this time -- Coby (my colleague that went with me to Colombia) and Herve (my colleague that went with me to Mexico). Interesting dynamics -- Coby and Herve have worked together for a few years and I am new to the team, but we all get along pretty well. Coby & Herve are big fans of gansta rap -- which included reminders sent to each other to bring MP3 players so that for our long weekend trips that we would have something to listen to in the car... So don't be surprised if I come back all "thug" or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
This is going to be a pretty different trip in that for all the other countries, the American dollar went a pretty long way. I understand that in Geneva, everything is expensive. So while I may not be able to buy anything personally, I figure that I will drown my sorrows in expense reimbursable fondue. Not too shabby.
More later on the trip I guess... From a planning perspective, it is actually warmer there than here. More sweaters, less shirts I assume. We have to go through Newark where my only real experience was arriving on a late flight connecting to Boston where all of the restaurants had closed and we were forced to bribe the guy to be able to eat the shrimp out of the display case. (We later arrived in Boston at 2 and they had closed the main road to our hotel for construction -- we eventually arrived at the hotel at 3 and had an 8a.m. presentation.)

Sounds like a lot of fun -- other than the "gangsta" rap. Enjoy yourself!
Have a wonderful time, Matt. Have some cheese fondue for me. if you are going to buy anything, buy a good fondue pot, they are really hard to find over here.
love, Julie and Ellis
i'm hoping we get some new fondue recipes out of this trip. maybe you can try to recreate some yummy concoctions when you get back. you must be really busy since we haven't heard from you since you've been over there. we miss you....
