Oh well!

I've just cancelled my trip. It seems like it was possible to cancel it and get my money back after all, my travel agency was just being a jerk. Anyhow, there is too much risk taking. The flights would be down today as well, and I have no idea how tomorrow will look. I am losing several days and if I actually get there, what if the winds will turn again when I'm supposed to get home? The vulcano is still going, and will do so for an unknown amount of time, and it's spitting out ash all the time. What if I get stranded several days in Japan when I'm supposed to go home, and they open the airspaces for almost a day, but close them when I land in London? And since I have a medical condition, I can't risk running out of my medicinal powder while I'm stranded. If I would, I would get sick and stranded. And if I'd run out of money, I'd get sick, stranded and broke. The flights and booking is chaotic right now, it's just impossible for me to ensure a safe trip. It's not like I'm giving up, I just can't fly there with all risks. Yeah, I've spent 5000 kr on tickets now, but I'm feeling even more sorry for my friends who will go there and whose tickets I have. Forgive me guys! <3
The odd thing is that I'm staying positive and already planning another trip there. Sometime around the end of June, so I can go watch Scarlet Pimpernel and Roger/Rock on.

And seriously.. vulcanic ash? What's next? Flyings spear-wielding pigs who will shoot at my next flight?
