I hate volcanoes!
I am getting so depressed about the prospect of having to cancel or seriously rearrange our holiday because of this bloody volcanic eruption in Iceland. Eion tried to rebook for 10 days time (which means missing the Glasgow and Skye portions of our itinerary) but the airlines won't accept any bookings for the next 2 weeks, and if we try to rearrange things for later than that, we miss all of Scotland and Ireland! So we're just going to sit tight till Monday and hope that the ash and pumice clouds disperse over the next 3 days. But I have a bad feeling that our holiday is stuffed!!! If we can at least get to Europe for the France and London sections of the trip, I suppose that's better than nothing, but it will be such a let down after all the planning that's gone into what should have been a 9 week tour. Eion says it will be hard to add the Scotland and Ireland "legs" after London because it will be high season and transport and accomodation will already be heavily booked, and costs will be much more than what we have budgeted for. Plus we will lose the money we have already committed to train travel, flights and accomodation for Scotland, Ireland and getting to Paris from Dublin. I am seriously miserable!
