Pre-history - Idea for APR trek

how we got idea to go to Switzerland in the first place..

somewhere in June we started to think about our first vacation together.. :)
the competion was very tuff..... .
The system was: we posted top 10 countries simulteniosly to our blog, then we collected candidates to one list (common countries, plus Wolf picked 3 countries from my list, and I picked 3 countries from his list).

Candidates were:

Wolf proposed next destinations:
1. Pilgrim Trail to Santiago de Compostela - Spain
2. Slovenia
3. Tour du Mont Blanc - Switzerland & Italy & France
4. Ring of Kerry - Ireland
5. Austria
6. Alpine Pass Route - Switzerland
7. West Highland Way - Scotland
8. Gascony - France
9. Ibiza
10. Aeolian Islands - near Sicily

My top 10 destinations were:
1 Spain - Santyago de Compostella (some part of the way)
2 the Ukraine - south, there are some very nice places, and it could be fun - Odessa, Krym :)
3 Slovakia - Tatras
4 South of Italy - some small towns
5 Greece
6 Uzbekistan-Tadjikistan (mountains)
7 Slovenia
8 Croatia
9 Ireland
10 UK?

After that we had list of 11 places and started one by one to exclude... That was tuff... :)
In the end top 3 was:

West Highland Way - Scotland
Aeolian Islands - Italy
and
Alpine Pass Route OR Tour du Mont Blanc - Switzerland..

one more tuff exclusion session and the winner was Switzerland :D
well... we did not think at that time how much money that trek will need... but may be we should have thought about it also... :)
anyway...
plane tickets were booked quite soon.. and we started to study materials carefully..
