Fly to Barcelona

Last summer, we had the idea of doing the Tour du Mount Blanc. We started planning in earnest in September/October. The first decision we had to make was where to fly to. There were no direct flights from the Bay Area to Geneva, the closest major city to the start of the hike. So we decided we would fly somewhere else, stay there a few days, and then fly to Geneva. We also looked into train rides to Geneva as well. We looked into London, Paris, and other places, but eventually decided on Barcelona. The fact that Paris would be hosting the Olympics shortly after our trip also influenced our decision. For more info on our planning, go directly to our Tour du Mont Blanc hike.

We arrived at SFO and breezed through security, but our flight was delayed by almost an hour. It finally left around 9pm. It still managed to arrive on time, around 5pm in Barcelona the next day (there’s a 9 hour time difference).
