The beginning pt1

Aug 5 we closed the deal on our house back in Toronto and headed to the Marriot Hotel by the airport. It was cool, we had some friends and family say good bye and then we were off to Mallorca the next day. Toronto-Montreal- Zurich,Switzerland- Palma de Mallorca.Everything was going well until the rental car in Zurich.We had a 9 hour lay off in Zurich and decided that we would rent the cheapest rental car and explore Zurich for a few hours. Our must be fate as the rental car we accepted had advertising wrap around it but believe it or not, it was advertising Mallorca!. Anyways, we arrive in Zurich city and park in an under ground parking and went walking. The city was very quiet for what back home would be rush hour. It was very beautiful in Zurich and it was cool to see the Swiss Alps. Upon leaving the car park, I reversed in a concrete poll. It was a standard car, the spots are very tiny and of course our children( Stefen&Jonathan)were in the back. Fortunately, when we were finally able to find the airport, which at one point seemed impossible the girl receiving the car didn't notice minor damage. We left the rental car and headed for the elevator up to Departures. When we got to the elevator we weren't having any luck but as we finally learned, we were pushing a circle on the wall, not the button. Ah well, it all worked out
