Do we have a fix on meeting point and time?
or will we decide that closer to the actual date to account for weather conditions?

i think best would be to decide exactly around thursday, friday, but i assume something early morning, or 1-2 so we can get the nice afternoon light?

What a great excuse, as if I need one, to travel to one of my dream destinations. And to think, I had the opportunity to do a week-long job in Zurich over Christmas '07 and turned it down. Am i an idiot? Don't answer that.

Weather forecast for Sunday:

Freitag und Samstag recht sonnig, im Flachland vor allem Vormittags zeitweise Wolkenfelder. In den Alpen besonders am Freitag aus Süden zeitweise bewölkt, in den südlichen Walliseralpen einzelne Schauer möglich. Sonntag und Montag recht sonnig und warm, im Verlauf des Nachmittags vor allem an den Voralpen Bildung von Quellwolken.

Basically: nice ;-)a

Dorin, I have no idea of feeding times.

Yep, should be about 15C, so warm enough, maybe a fair bit of cloud around but dry, so looks good for me :-)
