This recorded announcement came over the speaker on our SwissAir flight ZRH-VIE a few days ago:
Further to the Captain's announcement, stay calm. Remove ties, collars, and sharp objects.
At that point a flight attendant walked very quickly toward the front of the plane.
Fortunately we were still parked at the gate at ZRH and it appears that somebody had pushed the wrong button. We have to admit that it did get our attention.
We hope never to hear that announcement except by mistake.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
