Eyjafjallajokull


Who knew that such a place existed let alone could wreak so much havoc in our lives? After 7 hours on the internet/phone Bruce was able to reroute Laura through Europe in an attempt to get her home in time to make her flight to Utah for Jeff and Krista's wedding. On the third day in a row of flight cancellations out of Heathrow (not to mention almost every other airport in North Western Europe) we realized she could very well be stuck there indefinitely. When her flight that was scheduled to leave tomorrow was cancelled this afternoon, Bruce pretty much had her new itinerary hammered out: It took a ton of patience on very slow websites to purchase the following tickets: From London on the Chunnel to get to Paris where she will spend the night and day. Then an overnight train to Madrid with a flight out of Barajas on Tuesday morning. If all goes well she will be home on Tuesday evening. Keep your fingers crossed that the ash cloud doesn't decided to drift south! Meanwhile it would be just our luck for her originally cancelled flight to be rescheduled and beat her home. Only time will tell.

  1. The name of the volcano looks like one of Boff's salutations from his mission emails. I hope Robbie gets home soon!!!!!!
