That's very kind of you bandit

I'm sure it would be a lot of fun.
But I have a lot of the Saturday morning chores left over from the winter to take care of. You know ... life gets in the way...
I really like the idea of starting the season in October with a group from Canada who travel to the Zermatt in October. Look here if interested:

I hope you have a really great trip; and believe me your suggestion is really tempting

I look forward to seeing some pictures!
