Youtube Video of DCT Switzerland school

Hello Beloved friends and family,

One of my friends that went to Switzerland last year had a friend post a video on youtube about life at the DCT school that I am going to be based out of. The name of the video is JWU International Tourism and Hotel Program in Switzerland 2008.

This will give you a great look at where I will be living and studying, as well as how I will be traveling around the great country of Europe.

Yes that is snow that you see, and I will be seeing that for a good month while I'm there at least. and the Lake that is in the video too is right across from the school. I will wake up to that lake every day. I can't wait for that.

till next time,

My best friends and I went up to Boston for a few hows. David his this photo does says he know where he is going, But he really does not. Michelle is my other half and i not sure how Switzerland is going to go with out her.

David was quit up set when we would not let him double park any were and made him park in a parking garage.


Michelle's life in now complete because she has now seen the the make way for duckling ducks.

The start of the CRAZYNESS

Hello to family and friends,

As most of you know that in about 14 days I will be getting on an really big plane and flying over to Switzerland. The reason I am going to Switzerland is because I will be studying International Hotel and Tourism Management. How ever the really reason the 40 Johnson and Wales student and 1 professor are going is to TRAVEL.

I may be a travel major, but packing up my life is going to be the heard part. This is my school life that is going to have to be pack up by Friday 27 of February, and then drive home to South Western Pennsylvania. This is my dorm room and I have move in and it is well lived in and I don't know how to travel light.

Has any every packed for a 3 month trip with only 2 suitcases and 2 carry on's. I have to pack for 2 season winter and the beginning of spring, suites and everyday clothing. Everything I will need for school, my 3 text books that way a ton, and of course my love of post-its. I can't live with out those.

When I am over there I will be traveling as well. There are many places that I want to go. So far I only have one weekend planed. Oh yeah my weekends are three days Friday to Sunday all the time, that makes traveling more fun. The only weekend I have planed out is my Easter weekend that is 4 days long and I'm going to visit my German Family. That is going to be so much fun.

If you want me to send you a post card you will have to give me your address.

I will love it if you send me things as well. Here is where I will be located

The host school's address is:
Student's Name/Johnson & Wales University
c/o DCT International Hotel and Business Management School
6354 Vitznau, Luzern, Switzerland

Phone 011 41 41 3990000
Fax 011 41 41 3990020

The really cool thing about where I am located, in the small town of Vitznau. It is located on a lake and lots of mountens. and when it snows it looks like it is right out of a fair tail. This town is very small and the only reall thing is it the school that I will be at.

There are a few things that I'm working on getting to make it easier to get a hold of me. This is one, my email is the other and that is aas133@jwu.edu, and soon I will have skype.

If anyone wants to help me plan out my weekends that would be great.

talk to all of my beloved friends and family later,

Anna aka Travel54s
