Time was especially tight as I insisted on using public transportation as much as possible.  I only had about 45 minutes in the city center.  The weak dollar and the strong Swiss franc were giving me sticker shock, so I was actually glad that I had little time in Geneva.  I had a quick look at the Flower Clock and saw Jet d'Eau from a distance, bought some Thai takeout, and I was back at the airport.

At Heathrow, I managed to get on an earlier flight for New York that left two hours before the one I was booked on without paying another change fee.  I was very thankful.
