When we finally woke up this morning a little after 10 AM we weren't sure how long the sun was going to hold out. Although the weather called for a beautiful day the clouds looked menacing. Luckily by the time, we left our hotel room a little after 11 AM it had turned into a beautiful overcast day. 

We try so hard to fight jet lag, but so far jet lag is undefeated. We woke up in the middle of the wee hours of the morning and watched some Netflix before falling back asleep at 6 AM before waking up at 10 AM. We probably could have kept sleeping but we knew if we did we miss a beautiful day in Geneva, so we got up. I went for a run along the lake while Jenn got ready for the day. 

After what feels like a lifetime, we've finally arrived at our first big trip of 2018. I remember when Jenn first put up the "Countdown to the French Open Trip" on our chalkboard in our apartment. It had just reached the 100-day prior mark. This morning we left our apartment in Newport Beach and grabbed a Lyft to take us to LAX. More then any other trip, we were probably the least prepared for this one. Although we've been meticulously counting down to it, the last month or so really snuck up on us. We were packing and printing out boarding passes right up to the point where Ulises picked us up in his Kia Optima. 

Last summer we booked a trip to go to Switzerland in January of 2018. We had planned to do a week traveling through the Alps enjoying the freezing weather and snow. But when we got back from India in November our bodies had other things to say about that. We decided against jumping on a plane a month later and instead exchanged those plane flights for a trip in May.
