Geneva on My Own

I had been reminding the kids that I would be heading to Geneva for work and the day had finally arrived. Saturday was spent sending kids to classes as usual. I was feeling jittery as the day passed. It had been almost 2 years since I last traveled alone. Then, it it was also to Geneva.

When it was time, I almost didn't want to leave them. Lil Shauna was still down with fever and Lil Isaac was tired from flu as well as a full day's activity. Boo. Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice. I missed them already while in the cab on the way to the airport. I watsapp ah yee, who comforted that I would feel better the moment I am in the plane. I hope so.

I met up with my colleagues in the airport but didn't eventually sit with them as we all checked in at the different time. Time at the airport passed quickly too, part shopping, part discussing work.

I should have asked for an aisle seat but I didn't and ended up in the middle of a 4-seater. A Singaporean was beside me and he had to stand up whenever I needed out. To reduce inconveniences, whenever he visited the washroom, I would too or just stretched my legs and spare my butt the torture even if I didn't needed the washroom. My butt is probably so much flatter after the 12 hours flight. Ouch!

The flight was alright. I was indeed feeling better by the time the plane took off. In that 12 and 1/2 hr flight, I watch 2.5 movie and spent the rest of the time (about 6ish hours) in between sleeping and waking. The economy seat, sandwiched between 2 strangers isn't the most comfortable. At certain point, while I was drifting to lala land, the turbulence was bad but fortunately, I will too tired to mind them.

We arrived Zurich at 6.10am Switzerland time, which is 6 hrs behind Singapore before transiting to Geneva. See how tired I was!

Nice views greeted us as we waited for the transit.

For the transit flight, I had a whole row of 3 seats to myself but the flight was only for 30 mins and I didn't really managed to sleep.

After almost 15 hours of flight and transit, we finally arrived safely in Geneva!
