As you saw before, we packed most of our bags last week.   Today is the day we leave for our epic adventure.  With the few final touches, the bags are all packed up.

Look at all of those bags!  So many we had to take the biggest Uber ever.  $99 and it wasn’t even surge pricing!

We got to the airport and Dave had to take a business call at the most opportune time:

Surprisingly, with all seven bags (not counting our carry-ons), there were no baggage fees.  Thanks Swiss Air!  Getting through security was relatively easy.  Dave’s bag got searched, of course.  After a short walk, we made it to the United Lounge to enjoy all the luxurys of lounge life.

The lounge is packed and the only space available is in the pay-phone room where there is barely enough space for both of us.  Luckily there was free sparkling water to quench Dave’s thirst.

The hardest part of all of this is obviously saying goodbye to the dogs.  Luckily they are in good hands.  Thanks to my parents for watching them in the beginning and end.  They will have a fun time out in the country as well.

Our next update to the Site will be from Switzerland, so get excited!
