Travel bug

We're slowly expanding our horizons and trying to figure out how to travel with our little eating/crying/pooping machine. After surviving one night in Lausanne last weekend, we're going to push our luck and travel twice as far to spend two nights this weekend in Lugano, which is in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland (Ticino). We drove through on our trip to Italy last year, but otherwise haven't spent any time there. A lot of friends really like that area because it combines the best of Italy and Switzerland (as one former colleague put it, "it's like Italy, but much cleaner"). We had a hard time deciding between Lugano and Locarno, and frankly I already think we need to get back to Locarno another time, if for no other reason than because their public transportation system is called FART...
