Wow!!! Thanks for those really useful websites!! The women's club and the swiss american club look fantastic!! That was exactly what I was looking for. Seeing those really puts my mind at ease that I will not be alone. That is the only fear I had.

We are hoping to get confirmation on the job this week and then see how the permit application process goes. I'm nervous about that after seeing some threads on other boards here. We are really hoping this all works out. We're really excited about the possibility of living in Luzern. It looks like such a fantastic place!!!

Thanks all for the very helpful replies, info, and links!!!
