April 7 - Goodbye to Ticino

t was a fantastically wonderful stay in Locarno – but the 7 days of relaxation and family time there ended as we boarded an early morning train from Locarno, connecting to other trains in Bellinzona and Basel enroute to our next destination, Frankfurt. The morning trip through the Alps was spectacular – it has always left me feeling like I'm on the ultimate Disneyland ride as I peer out to the villages perched on the mountainsides and in the valley, and the many waterfalls that punctuate the trip. As I enjoyed the contentment accompanying our fun stay in Ticino, I thought that everyone should add this train trip through the Alps to their “bucket” list.
