Having a beautiful time ... Will post some trip details soon.
It's all well and good to be tripping around Italy (but Geneva?! why Geneva??!!), as long as you are keeping your roster current......
I don't know what I was thinking in Draft Day b-man. At 1-10, no roster changes will help at this point. To be fair to others, I have fielded a full squad.

If it makes you feel any better, my RBs started as Rice, Sankey, MJD and Blount in one league!

I believe both to be true!
Zurich was boring and expensive. Geneva had some nice architecture, parks, and fountains, and was a base for touring the surrounding area including Chateai Chillon in Montreux. I have no desire to ever return to Switzerland unless travelling to Alsace from the lake country of Italy.
Geneva wasn't on the itinerary, but my friend wanted to visit her brother and partner.
The Lake Geneva area is very pretty and surprisingly had several interesting things to do - castle, Christmas markets, Valais wine region.

We enjoyed a boat trip around the lake and the lake fountain is cool. But that's about it.

Have great memories strolling down the Calle Quinta in PDC with my kids two years ago every night with a full govino in hand. Even got to hold a Lion. Only in Mexico! Can't wait to go back.
Dallas (well, technically, Irving, TX.): HOLY S**T, it's cold!
This is my first trip to this city; I will not return unless I can receive complete assurance that the temps will not fall below 60 degrees.

An island somewhere in the Trent River. No hydro, no water, good friends, good food, good wine and hopefully the river doesn't freeze any further than it has overnight.
St Lucia and having a great time!

I'll have to get recs from you - my wife and I are heading there next year for a wedding.
Montego Bay... Listening to the waves outside our balcony door.
Ocho Rios 
Don't do the falls barefoot!
right on
Also have the 'boys' carry the camera. Red Stripe at the bottom and top is a must.
Have climbed three times over the past 30 years and doubt I will do it again. Going to Marleys grave to pay respect for a great musician.

Been there many times for a stopover on my way up to and back from the Northwest Territories for fly-in fishing, but only in June. I find the moat/canal dug for miles around the town to prevent flooding pretty fascinating.
You can take a plane up to 200 feet and fly a long time before you'd hit anything. The hill in town is a landfill.
Just back from Montego Bay
Fort Collins - in town for my niece's graduation from Colorado State.
Cute little town

Rafted the Poudre out of Fort Collins last year. Didn't spend any time in the town though, just drove through it.
Palm Desert
Toronto- our annual family visit (Freelton, ON, more accurately). Visited Toronto yesterday and enjoyed beers at BarVolo and Queen & Beaver.

Great place that barVolo. I work a few blocks away and lunch there can get dangerous. I often clear my afternoons, just in case.
Hope you're enjoying TO.
Warm, sunny Palm Beach County

I enjoy Toronto every time I visit, though most of our time is spent relaxing in Freelton. Need to make a Leaf's game happen...we normally end up at a Buffalo game (like we did last night).
