I agree completely with that and remember fondly our farewell party the 
first Untour we took in Sachseln, hosted by Berit and Albert (and Agnes). A 
great time was had by all! I just like getting out of the United States and 
the stress. After our last trip, however, (our third) we are reconsidering 
flying and might just paddle inner tubes across the Atlantic, with the 
paranoia at the airports!!!

Sounds like a good topic.

We obviously like Switzerland because all of our previous 8 Untours have 
been to this lovely country and we already have reservations to return to 
Sachseln in late July '07.

What do we like about Switzerland?  The soaring mountains, the lush green 
valleys, the incredible neatness, the gracious and helpful people and so on. 
Twice I have been on paraglide flights, the last in 2003 at age 84.  Several 
of my favorite hikes are the 3 Canton Hike, the Creme de la Creme, the 
Lauterbrunnen Valley from Steckelberg back to Laturerbrunen, the Grandmother 
Hike, the postal bus trip from Brig to Domdossolo, Italy, over the Simplon 
Pass.  And then there are our favorite host and hostess, Albert and Berit 
Greutert.
