volcano
We're winding up our US visit. Supposedly, we're leaving tomorrow evening. However, it seems that more volcanic ash is in UK airspace, and all airports in the northern part of the country are closed. The way it's drifting could well close London airports by.. tomorrow evening.
Not terrible, I suppose, because at least we've got family/friends here. It's not great for cookieman's work, of course. We'd really like to make our planned flight, though, because we've scored the bulkhead/ baby bassinet seats for it, and if we're bumped we're far more likely to end up with a dude on our laps the entire flight.
but wait, I haven't gotten to the fun bit!
If our flight tomorrow is canceled, that would leave us departing on Tuesday at the very soonest (and unlikely, as we all have learned from the previous ash experience.) Tuesday also happens to be the day the British Airways flight crew have decided to strike again! The current plan is that they will be attempting to continue at half capacity. We'll see how that goes.
This is also forgetting that we have yet another potential paperwork problem for the dude, but I'll write more about that later.
