Kettering Alumni Association, Switzerland and Italy's Lake Garda - September 17 - 25, 2004

Kettering Alumni Association and Global Holidays sponsored an eight day excursion to Switzerland and Italy's Lake Garda. Fourteen alumni and guests enjoyed some of the most breathtaking, picturesque countries in Europe. The travelers saw snow capped mountain peaks, green meadows punctuated with alpine flowers, villages, and crystal clear lakes. The alumni and guests were amazed by the natural beauty of the majestic Swiss Alps.

The alumni and guests stayed three nights in Engelberg, located in central Switzerland. Then the alumni travelers stayed four nights in Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake. From flower-festooned wooden chalets to olive and lemon orchards, the alumni and guests had a great time.
